LMES field now towers over ALMS

We recall when the European version of the American LeMans Series was suffering from small fields while ALMS had large car counts. Now with Grand-Am undermining sports car racing in the USA with their alternate series, the shoes are reversed. The fourth season of the Le Mans Series will feature a bumper grid after series organizers announced that 51 full season entries have been lodged for 2007. Compare that to ALMS where they are struggling to get 25 car grids, largely as a result of the factory efforts dominating the LMP1 (Audi) and GT1 (Corvette) classes.
