Welcome to the weekend sports cars part, the Marshall Pruitt podcast collection, and brought to you, as always, with the health of our friends from Justice Brothers and Toronto Mudders.com.

0:12.9

It's, we keep saying it's a special edition. It's a special week. It's a special day, as it always is, around this summer here.

0:21.6

I'm joined for this by Stephen Kilby and Stephen.

0:24.3

We're going to look back at a somewhat instant speckled bath there's 12 hours,

0:30.4

but the news today is actually all about Le Mans and the 62 teams that will be contesting the 94th edition.

0:38.9

Yeah, the 94th edition, that's right.

0:42.3

We'll apologise before we get to much further.

0:45.0

You may in the background here, we have a third body in the, let's call it studio,

0:51.1

my living room, and that is Tas the Husky, who's contending himself at the moment by tearing one of his toys to shreds. If it keeps in quiet the next 30 minutes or so, we'll have done well. Where do you want to start, Stephen? Do you want to talk Lamont, or should we just wrap up with Bathurst first? I think let's cover Lamont first. That's the most newsy element to this, and it's the freshest piece of news we've had really

1:13.6

1:42.3

And it's essentially the WC grid, so the 17 cars from the FIWC,

1:50.8

plus the addition of a third Cadillac V-Series R for Wayne Taylor Racing.

1:56.8

So that's the first major talking point of the entry list, is it?

2:00.3

Well, let's talk about that.

2:01.5

It seems that some, even some of the media, seem to be surprised.

2:04.8

It's not Action Express.

2:06.2

Have to say, we're not surprised for a couple of reasons.

2:11.0

The first is that Action Expresses, two of Action Expresses, full season drivers are busy on Jota full-season efforts with the WC.

2:21.0
