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.

[Adam43]

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.

[jhansen]

Way to step out on a limb there Adam.

I'll go with this for LMP1:

1. Audi Sport Team Goh #5
2. Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx #8
3. Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx #88
4. Champion Racing #2
5. Racing For Holland #15
6. Pescarolo Sport #17

Best Trap Speed: Racing For Holland #15

[kdr]

i'll say -

1. goh audi
2. veloqx audi
3. rfh

fastest speed trap - enge/ferrari.

if i'm going to be wrong i like to do it with style!

[tblincoe]

wow, surprised to see not a lot of faith in the champion boys...

[jhansen]

This is just the "testing" thread. Faith has nothin to do with it. My money will be on Champion come race day.

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.

[Aysedasi]

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.....?

[Fab]

Yep, there's some rules to follow !

Personnal message, sorry for that : Ayse, did you get my sms this afternoon ?

[Aysedasi]

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......

[tblincoe]

after recent events i'm changing my predictions for lmp1, haha:

1. #5 Goh Audi R8
2. #2 Champion Audi R8
3. #8 Veloqx Audi R8
4. #15 Racing for Holland Dome-Judd
5. #88 Veloqx Audi R8
6. #16 Racing for Holland Dome-Judd

there we go... the new line-up for the 2nd rfh car will be much faster in qualifying, but we still be fast for the test days as the guys get used to the car and track
