2013 12 Hours of Sebring Entry List Speculation - Page 10

FstrthnU · 8 Feb 2013, 02:54 (Ref:3200996)

Didn't west racing run a (failed) Lamborghini gt3 on yokohamas back in 2011?

MitchZ06 · 8 Feb 2013, 03:00 (Ref:3200998)

Yes, it was a detuned GT3 car iirc.

TF110 · 8 Feb 2013, 07:38 (Ref:3201041)

The biggest question is the tires. Yokohama aren't new, but they haven't been the greatest.

seanyb505 · 8 Feb 2013, 13:29 (Ref:3201211)

That's the only thing keeping me from believing they will be strong midpack. On the other hand the 458 is better developed than the lotus... I would consider a top seven a good showing

**joeb** · 8 Feb 2013, 13:59 (Ref:3201222)

They will be battling the Yokohama's, and Sweedlers stints, as well as the 02 ESM, the 48 Miller, and maybe a few other cars for the last few spots in the top 10.

That being said, I'm sure glad they are there to battle! I also hope it is a multi year deal.

I think people are underestimating the 48 car now that it has Michelins and Marco Holzer, Bryce has been putting in competitive laptimes during testing so far.

gregtummer · 8 Feb 2013, 16:01 (Ref:3201288)

Muscle Milk a 1:46.368!

1.2 seconds faster than their qualifying time of last year.

.5 seconds off of the Audi pole time of last year.

Perhaps, but compared to 2 Corvettes, 2 BMW's, 2 Vipers, and 2 of the Ferrari's there is going to be tough competition to match upfront. The Porsche chassis wasn't spectacular last year, and it wasn't upgraded as far as I know.

**joeb** · 8 Feb 2013, 17:49 (Ref:3201322)

Butch is back for Sebring with Dyson!

Coach Ep · 8 Feb 2013, 17:51 (Ref:3201324)

Fairytale stuff!

Now, if we could have Andy Wallace & James Weaver in the other car...!

Is there going to be another car for Sebring?

Coach Ep · 8 Feb 2013, 17:53 (Ref:3201327)

Maybe, depending on funding.

seanyb505 · 8 Feb 2013, 19:16 (Ref:3201356)

Looks like most teams are done until race week.

Woosh, some pace there from MM. Wonder where Rebellion will be in comparison come the 12 hours, 1.2 seconds is a lot to improve by over a lap.

There is an article over at Autoweek talking about the test and Mr. Atherton had some interesting math regarding p2 car counts at Sebring. He thinks the number will be 6.

Actually, six sounds reasonable for Sebring. But for the rest of the year, it may very well be 0

I can't come up with 6 cars though. Maybe 1 or 2 Level 5, 1 Greaves, and .....?

gregtummer · 8 Feb 2013, 20:24 (Ref:3201391)

Risi the first GT car to break the 2 minute barrier.

TF110 · 9 Feb 2013, 02:51 (Ref:3201546)

Was MMilk testing the new HPD with the wide fronts?

Pictures suggest the car was in full 03c spec, so that would include wide fronts.

TF110 · 9 Feb 2013, 03:03 (Ref:3201553)

C being the key letter.

We may see a Krohn Ferrari in GT, also a "surprise entrant" in an unnamed class. The unknown entry will be doing the post-race test too. Conquest is trying to hammer together a PC or GTC entry since they had to return their P2.

ESM will have Tony Vilander in the 01 and Anthony Lazzaro in the 02.

Wait a minute, surprise entry... Toyota!?

Canada ALMS fan · 9 Feb 2013, 06:27 (Ref:3201619)

Peugeot?

gregtummer · 9 Feb 2013, 07:26 (Ref:3201631)

I would guess the "surprise entrant" is Level 5.

Although the entire Sportscar world would light up if it was Toyota.

We're probably all hoping and praying for that, but as gregtummer said, it'll probably be a "surprise" P2 car.
