I could not have said it better. If the car stays healthy Kristensen/Capello/McNish will win 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 hours of LeMans.

Another vote for this camp here. Heartbreakingly cruel luck last year in the big one - if ever there was a team that deserved a win, it was them. They are the class of the field. Nishy was beyond belief into dawn last year at LM - fastest race lap after fastest race lap, and when he stepped out of the car he was fresh as a mayflower, joking and cajoling. Find me someone else you'd rather have in your car in an enduro...

The Badger · 5 Mar 2008, 16:46 (Ref:2145027)

That driver line up of McNish-Capello-Kristensen is possibily one of the best squads , ever !!!

Im not sure who is quickest , Capello beat Kristensen for pole for a few years , so proves a point there but , probably over a race distance Kristensen is slightly more consistant .

Nishy is just a superman ..... I'd bet my left ball on that car for a win .

I bet my left ball on that car for a tire failure leading to a big shunt.

Can't wait for next week and the first free practices...

And of course go Stéphane Sarrazin, Nicolas Minassian and Pedro Lamy

jhansen · 5 Mar 2008, 17:21 (Ref:2145054)

I think that Dindo doesn't quite get the respect he deserves. Tommy K. and Nishy are obviously stars, but need I remind everyone about Petit and Laguna last year? Dindo had two stellar drives in the closing stages of both races with serious pressure. Brilliant.

With that said, I'm surprised they didn't put Kristensen in the other car for a more ballanced approach. Of course, the other car may surprise us.

cmk · 5 Mar 2008, 17:44 (Ref:2145068)

Capello is a star, you are right. One of the quickest drivers in sportscars, knows how to push very hard when he has to as you allude to, jhansen, and a top bloke to boot.

Only because he's been paired with Nishy for so long is he overlooked. The fact that he was McNish's top choice for codriver tells you everything you need to know...

fieldodreams79 · 5 Mar 2008, 21:59 (Ref:2145232)

i like seeing the Wee Scot and TK in the same car along with Dindo---the "Power Three". should be tough to beat them and their R10, but Luhr, Rockenfeller and Werner ain't no slouches, either.

i'm just hoping for the biggest upset in Sebring History with an Intersport Win...too bad it ain't gonna happen but i can always pull for my "kin".

fieldodreams79 · 5 Mar 2008, 22:24 (Ref:2145239)

does anyone gots any news to share about the support races?

SPEED WC Touring and Grand T
Star Mazda
Barber Mazda
IMSA Challenge
IMSA Lites
i'm looking forward to seeing the 25 Historic Trans Am cars.

or should this be another thread?

I agree with this statement. Also, McNish & Kristensen may be two of the best sportscar drivers ever. I believe they are on a par with Ickx & Phil Hill.

Bit of an update to the entry list yesterday. Uwe Alzen will drive the Vici Porsche. Bryce Miller is also removed from the Farnbacher-Loles entry, replaced by Dirk Werner.

Now that definitely is not on-topic...

Back to Sebring, it seems that there is the slightest chance TransSport will be there with their Ford, according to the Bear, but it is almost certainly not going to happen. Similarly, the Arena rumour still seems to be kicking around in the halls of the illuminati, despite what Grahame Chilton said to DSC.

Wish I was headed that way too, but work and school still call. Hopefully next year the breaks will line up right and I'll be down there for my first Sebring.

Mindspin13B · 8 Mar 2008, 14:04 (Ref:2146916)

Does anyone know what frequencies the teams usually use for communication? Im trying to figure out my scanner, get it programmed a bit.

This list is compiled by Brian; USAGTS1 at the ALMS forums. If you are a member there I suggest you look in; Le Mans Racing 101 sub-forum in the Scanning The ALMS - 2008 thread to find any more updates on the freq's.
The first # is the car#

This list is based on Sebring Entries as of Mar. 4th.

1----167.8125 also check 160.2250, 451.3250, 469.2250
2----168.1875 172.6120 Cars 1 and 2 may swap frequencies
3----459.3875 469.5875, 459.5875
4----469.7876 469.2250, 459.2250, 451.6250, 456.6250
5----tba
6----461.8250 and 464.6000 from 2005
7----462.2500
07---tba
007-tba
8----464.0250
008-tba
9----468.2000 453.5125 never confirmed at Sebring 2007
10---tba
11---456.1375
12---453.5125 468.8750, 462.6000
15---469.4750
16---467.0125
20---468.6875
21---464.6125 461.9000
26---462.4000
27---468.2125 163.750
28---tba
32---462.9625 159.4625, 164.0625, 468.7250, 171.9300
37---467.5500 459.1875 469.9000, 457.5875
40---461.7000 used Repeater at Sebring 2007
44---463.4750 469.8625 could use either one
45---464.9250 469.9625 could use either one
46---tba but may use one from 44 or 45
48---464.5000 may change
61---467.5000 462.0375
62---462.0375 463.9250 61 and 62 may swap any of these
71---457.5000
73---457.7000
77---tba
87---456.7250

Check them out – YMMV (but maybe only slightly).

The usual practice is to have the scanner’s memory channel number the same as the car’s number for easy identification.

Notes:
--07 could be stored in your scanner’s Memory Nr. 67
--007 in 97, 008 in 98
--Audi - 1 & 2 might swap frequencies
--FL - 44, 45, & 46 could use any of the four freqs listed
--Risi - 61 & 62 could use any of the freqs listed
--tba’s – We’ll see what we can update at Sebring starting Wednesday.
To get updates and changes, stop by Turn 15 – Space 57, and we’ll
post a list starting Friday. Look for an RV with a white antenna
mounted on top of a mast attached to the scaffold trackside.
Have a beer too--!!

CYA at Sebring,
Brian ~ USAGTS1

Once again this list is compiled by USAGTS1 @ the ALMS forums so be sure to say thanks if you run across him (Brian)!
