I don't want to wish ill on anyone, but I'd love to see the two R10s collide and need to spend, say, 30-40 minutes in the pits and have to really race to get back on terms.......

Sam, I have to agree. Don't want to as I like the car, but until the Test Weekend, I'll say the Spyker.

They've slowed down, then!  I can't help but think it'll be the Lamborghini, for two reasons. Firstly, it's reliability record isn't exactly brilliant, but secondly it's one of the cars I really badly want to see again so it's bound to snuff it early on!! |

knowing my luck we will have a petit lemans were the zytek gets wiped out on the first corner and the audi that collide's with it being fine but on a serious note i think that the B racing lambo will be the first to retire because its reliability record is not very good so really statictically it is probably the most unreliable unfortunately because i like that car quite a lot

Sadly, I'm another who believes the Lambo will be the first to retire.
But, I was slightly concerned by the driving of the new owner of the ex Chamberlain B05/40 when he took over for the final stint at Spa. Unless I've misjudged his ability, he could be involved in the events leading up to the first retirement.........

I doubt it would be Acemco, I think they have been testing the bejesus out of the car since they aren't offically entered in the ALMS season, they don't have to play by the limited testing rules.
They don't have to run Sebring because they've done it before and the car lasted, albiet quite far down in the order at the end of the race due to extended time in the pits for repairs. I think Steve Saleen would like to see the car do well here, so I one would HOPE Acemco is getting full support from everybody involved. If a car would fail it would be the #51 Panoz, snake bit so far this season.. But I KNOW they will NOT bring that car to France... GT2 is usually the most reliable anyway. That being said, I believe because of the pace set by everybody that accidents will happen and cars will fail from being pushed to the limit pretty much the whole event. I honestly believe this will go on record as one of the faster 24 hour races ever run. If they don't have any full course yellows, it most likely will be because I see the pole times of last year being broken quite easily. If it wasn't for that stupid lap time rule for the classes, the track record would be broken by everybody involved. |

I'm thinking 5pm start 5.05pm down pour at Mus Lane, I'm thinking prototype scrapyard (well except the two R10's which repel water, bullets, curses and witchcraft)

As far as the Audi R10 is concerned, I can't recall me hoping they finish 1-2 in the past, but I will this year. Goh Audi!!! As far as first out... Miracle or the Lambo. |
