The Kruse Courage is still out the front in LMP2, I don't think anyone saw that one coming. I also see that the J3 Racing Porsche is running in 4th in GT2, thats a big improvement for them over last year.

the 3 had a wheel disc problem, the 4 got hit by a porsche.
lets remember that the ACO will release the Le Mans entry list next week. they said they kept 5 spaces open for teams that perform well at sebring. what would you guys pick? my 5 would be: -2 Aston Martin's (reliable, leading class right now) -Kruse Courage (they lead for so long, now have engine problems, but hey, look how well they did. they were the only P2 team that didnt have problems, up until now).. -IN2Racing Porsche (they are 4th right now, very well done!) -LNT TVR (good performance until their problems) i really hope Kruse gets a le mans spot (as well as the LNT TVR) |

I think A. Wallace will overtake Brabham before the end, if no incident occurs.

well, who else would they accept for their 5 "post sebring" entries? nobody le mans bound (and not accepted yet) did well.. Kruse put on a show for 9 hrs. i really believe they deserve an entry!

Very nice debut for Aston. Prodrive really knows how to put a program together. Some other 'big' manufacturers should take notes.
Le Mans should be allot of fun between the Corvettes. |

Did not get involved in forum as PC is distant from best TV. Looks like it was good feedback. Fantastic BUZZZZZZZ watcing those cars coming round to the start line, comment from neighbour about volume of TV. I will have to start buying lottery tickets to get money so I can spend my time travelling the world. ALMS, LMES and of course LM24. If no clash F1 could be included. Well done Aston Martin. Watch out for Vette C6. Will move PC for next race. Life restarts with LM season

The quality of GT1 is evident. Further the high number of Gt2 porsche's RSR with problems was amazingly high. So good to see and hear the cars again. I hate winter..

I've not been around all weekend, not had chance to follow any footage or results or lap times - I'm gutted! But I'd like to know, who had the better lap times? The DBR9 or the C6-R? I have read about the Corvette's troubles, so that's why I'm wondering, to see if the Corvette will be quicker in other races.
But my congrats to Aston Martin and Prodrive. At least we now know absolutley for sure, with proof, that the car will last a good deal of time in a race, even if it was just a 12 hour event |
