Reserve vehicles

As in previous years, the ACO published the list of reserve vehicles with the start list. In 2010 there was an innovation. Five teams each were put on the list as LMP or GT vehicles and would replace those teams that could not take part in the race for various reasons. The LMP reservists are only allowed to replace vehicles of the LMP1 and LMP2 classes. The same procedure applied to the GT cars. The advancement took place in the order of nomination.
