Invitations are handed out as a reward for outstanding achievements during the previous season in various events and series such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, the Le Mans Series, the American Le Mans Series and Asian Le Mans Series, the FIA-GT Championship as well as the Michelin Green X Challenge.

So, it is that time of the year again and the A.C.O. has published the list of automatically selected teams on their web site.

Christian explains he would like to concentrate on Formula 1 next year and cannot sign with Peugeot until his situation clarifies. If he manages to secure a seat on the 2010 F1 grid he will most probably drop out of Le Mans, mostly beacuse the 2010 Le Mans date clashes with the Canadian F1 Grand Prix.

Klien’s focus on Formula 1 is understandable, given the unique reshaping the series is going through these days. With all the big teams stepping out and a bunch new teams with great potential stepping, Klien has a fair chance to secure a comfortable contract if he plays his cards right.

His manager was quoted to say he might be looking for an opportunity to race the 24 ours of Le Mans 2010. That would be an interesting lead to follow since talent is not what Raikkonen is missing and imagining what he could do to a LMP1 is quite intriguing.

While nobody expects them to win against Peugeot or Audi, ECO Racing should be able to put up a fair fight. Radical has extensive endurance racing experience, including in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Fitted with a diesel engine and with the right racing strategy, the Radical SR10 has a good chance to walk away with a nice result.
