I expect an Audi to be top of the pile, with something non-VAG second.
Really vague i know, but the problem with predicting test day results is you never know exactly what stratagies might be used. |

I predict another predictions thread
Oh, yeah and an Audi will be quickest I'd love astrong showing from RfH, but I think they'll be 1s off at PQ (after trying) and couple of seconds come the race. Last edited by Adam43; 22 Apr 2004 at 15:57. |

1,2,3 for Audi. Max speed for a Dome.
I can't say more, I would like to know the result of the Judd transplant on the Pescarolo's cars. |

Please make sure that no-one posts any predictions threads regarding the race itself (or qualifying) in June. No problem with the Test Day, but Fab and I will deal with the others, if no-one seriously objects.....?

Yes indeed, but I had to go off and do another job unexpectedly, rather bizarrely after I had to send a junior colleague home when he split his trousers in a very major way......
