If you have not read through the rules and information thread, please do so, as the format is somewhat unique. Your submission should include your pole prediction for each class along with your pick(s) for each class winner. Reminder: You can pick up to three cars for your class winning choice. I have no set format for submitting your picks as long as it is easy to follow. A submission for P1 might look like this:

P1
Pole: Audi #2
Winner: Audi #1, Peugeot #7, Pescarolo #16

All predictions should be in by 13:15 (1:15pm) local time Saturday, April 5th. The deadline is 1 hour prior to qualifying. Good luck to everyone!

Hello

This is going to be quite a tough one considering the number of new cars to the series. Having said that I can't imagine Peugeot getting beaten in the first race! I was also impressed how quick they were at Sebring. Fast but fragile perhaps, but I don't think the R10 is quite the sure fire winner the R8 was either.

LMP1:

Pole: #7 Peugeot
Win: #7 Peugeot

LMP2:

Pole: #34 Porsche
Win: #31 Porsche,

I would like to say the #25 RML Lola would take the win but after two years in the ALMS, the Porsche RS Spyder just seems so much better than anything else in LMP2 at the moment.

GT1:

Pole: #72 Corvette
Win: #72 Corvette

I'm just think LAA have the experience and the car to win the first race.

GT2:

Pole: #96 Ferrari
Win: #96 Ferrari

Lots of potential winners here but this Ferrari and driver pairing are very strong although I think the #77 Porsche will run them very close.

Sorry for all the chat but I'm quite excited about this series.
