Would love to see a zytek or pescarolo up there too but over the full race distance I can't see anything touching the audis yet again! :banghead:

My thought :

1. Audi UK #8 - 380 laps
2. Audi Champion #2
3. Audi Goh #5

Number 8 Audi UK - 375 laps
Number 2 Champion Audi
Number 88 Audi UK

1.Audi UK #88

3.Audi Goh #5

376 laps

1) Audi Sport UK #8 - 368 Laps
2) Audi Sport UK #88
3) Champion Audi #2

audi #8 372

Prediction: 8, 88, 5
372 laps

What I would like: 17, 15, 22

#8, Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx, 379 laps
#88, Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx
#16, Racing For Holland

1 - audi sport uk 8. - 377 laps
2 - team goh audi
3 - racing for holland 16.

1. Audi Goh #5 - 366 laps
2. Audi UK #88
3. Pescarolo #17

OK here goes,

Audi #8 / 379

I would like the Pescarolo's to be there too, but can't see it somehow. High single figures I expect, be nice to be wrong but the Monza race didn't give me enough clues to guess with! :)

Everyone done here then?

No, no, not yet :).

Hi there Yow : number of laps is missing ! ;)

#90 Petersen White porsche for class win

Do we have an evaluation method here? ie what's more important, getting third right or getting # of laps right?

I suggest points like this: 10 for winner, 5 for second, 3 for third, (5 minus the difference in laps) for laps. So, if you guessed 370 and they ran 373, you'd get 2 points. Tie goes to placement over laps.

Note, if you don't have the laps guess in, you get no points for that category - unless both Ayse and Fab agree that in fact you should be disqualified! (I don't personally mind, as I figure my points proposal is sufficient enticement.)

Ok, my predictions: JH will clout a curb and break the car; Goh and Champion will reprise 2001; Veloqx #8 wins and beats Bentley's 377-lap distance record by a whopping 5 laps (382); and the surprise will be Rollcentre in P2 followed by RfH #15 in P3.

Karl Kling gets 10 points for the winner, and 4 points on laps; all others who guessed Goh got Champion right but the wrong Audi UK, so they got 13 points. So he gets 2nd.

But the winner is bernard_b who got 1st and second right. Congratulations!

5 people got the distance right (379 laps).

well, thank you ! It was not a very logical prediction, but I wanted Dindo to win again, and he did ! Just wished a Pescarolo could make 3rd, and they almost did . Next year maybe ...

I'd like to thank a few friends, without them this victory(!) wouldn't have been possible. they'll recognise themself:
(in no particular order): Dindo, Tom, Seiji, Jamie, Guy and last but not least, Johnny

Congrats indeed, Bernard ! :rotate:

Amazing, 379 laps, 215km/h !!! Notice that if the n°88 hadn't have its suspension changed, or the n°5 had no problem they could have be close to the records set without chicanes !

I bet for 370 laps only, imaging a loonnnng gearbox change for the leading car. Pfff!

Congratulations bernard, but you are lucky ! ;)

I know ...
but even if I was at Porsche curves when the crash happened, it's not me that put oil on track ...

Well, I got the laps right, so I consider myself at least partly successful..... :)

Wohoo! Second place! :)

Now, imagine this:

http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20858&perpage=15&pagenumber=3

Our predictions back in 2002 were well below what is clearly the pace of these cars. Two years on, how can anyone deny the R8 its place in the pantheon of sportscar racing?

1993: 375 laps = 5100.000 km for the Peugeot 905
1999: 366 laps = 4982.974 km (BMW)
2000: 368 laps = 5007.988 km
2001: rain
2002: 375 laps = 5118.750 km <-- new "post-Mulsanne chicane" record - FSI introduction
2003: 377 laps = 5146.050 km <-- new "post-Mulsanne chicane" record for Bentley - top Audi did 372 laps, so a bit of a slip
2004: 379 laps = 5173.350 km <-- new "post-Mulsanne chicane" record

for reference:

1988: 394 laps = 5332.970 km ("post-Porsche curves" record)
1971: 396 laps = 5335.313 km (overall record)

When your competition on the track doesn't push you, you can either take it easy, or race against the history books.

It will be difficult to beat the "before chicanes everywhere" records... seeing how the leaders pushed those last years (especially 2004)... Could we expect 380 laps next year ?

if it's a "clear" race, without pace car sessions, why not?
