It seems a little bit more common than we thought initialy... could happen as well for Audi ! Not that I hope that for them, not an accident... BTW, I just watched a video downloadable on PK Sport site : we see a trumendous crash of the Gulf Audi, last year. It's not at Le Mans. The weather looks sunny ( ) and Johansonn seems pushed out by a Pescarolo Courage... any idea of what happend and where it was ? |

I'm betting on the AutoPalace Ferrari falling on its sword first!

The Morgan will be the first car to retire.

My (save) bet is also on the Morgan if no accidents happen within the first hour or so.

It has to be the Morgan. If it doesn't break down in the first few laps then it's going to be a headache for the rest of the field (and how will it handle in the wet?!) Maybe it should have some dayglo chevrons and a 'keep right' sign pasted on the boot
Talking of multiple accidents in the same team, don't forget the Aston Nimrods taking each other out on the Mulsanne. BigH |

Ok Aysedasi, I've been thinking about this one, the Pilbeam seemed appropriate last year, just as the Coupe 450S Maserati was in 1957 (reminding you of my early love of Le Mans!). You might just as well have sweepstake on this one.
Who is going to charge from the start and perhaps make a mistake? My vote goes for a Dome, and I' plump for the Dutch one. I hope I'm wrong as I wish it well. |

Yes PZ, he suffered some horrible burns and was laid up for a long time. He made a pretty good recovery, bar the scarring, and returned to Le Mans in '87 or thereabouts. I'll bet it took some of the right stuff to get back in a Group C car again and point it down the Mulsanne.

i was thinking again about the morgan. whats the chances if it broke they'd be able to fix it...it does seem more em - rudimentary(?!)than most of the other cars.

All cars out at Once

What was that car that Yannick Dalmas was driving in 2000 that lasted about 1/4 lap? I think it was one of the ROC cars? It didn't even get really out of sight of Pit Out before it lost all its oil and died.
Judging by their past history, I'd bet on the Panoz LMP-07 losing a wheel early on. And don't pick on my Spyker pals -- they may not be lovely to some of you, but the car was 100% reliable during Sebring until it hit that Porsche. |

2 Konrad Porsche 911's, Oreca Viper and 2 x BMW V12 LM's all before 100 laps, even the Debora done more than that !!! Just 23 finishers that year and many of them walking wounded. Oh and it was 19 and 31 laps when the Mercs went out both with 'engine problems' (not enough power to take off. Problem solved in '99 ) Simon |

Everyone seems to have it in for the poor old Morgan. I'm willing to bet that it wont be the first retirement. (But don't ask me to put my money where my mouth is!!).
Well I never! I've just noticed that this is my 2000th post! Last edited by Aysedasi; 29 May 2002 at 20:22. |

Thanks, Aysedasi. They're not racing this year I take it? With them and the Deborah out of contention, it's a hard call to make! But I will vote for the MBD Panoz Mugen LMP-07 Slightly Faster Than A Brick Mobile.

itll either be one of the gt porsches simply because theres so many and theyll probably take each other out, or the morgan because of inexperience. i also reckon the ferrari's could struggle after a while.
