out of the big 3, I think the Toyota looks the best, Porsche will come flying out of the box, but I still think experience will will in the end, so I'm going for Audi, hope I'm wrong.

Not much to go on since testing was not definitive in lmp1. I hope Lotus isn't abysmal though Free practice might not even show the final order either.

I voted for Audi, but I think its going to be close between them and Toyota.
I see it being a race long scrap. Who knows maybe Porsche can mix it for a while, but I don't see them hanging on race long to win. Hope everyone who is going enjoys the day. |

Can't wait for LMP2 and GTE to be splt into L and H categories in the future and these categories being split into separate Am and Pro classes. More artificial classes and confusion is exactly what this series needs. |

With that many classes the presentations will take longer than the race

I don't think it's any different to last year when the privateers had a separate podium procedure. I'll admit it doesn't do a huge amount for me, but the guys from Rebellion have been clear that (a) their backers prefer competing in the top flight than potentially winning in LMP2 and (b) having the 'recognition' of the privateer class is important to them. In this light does it really cost us all that much?

Let's go Toyota! It's time.
Would really like to see Porsche have a good race and get amongst it. You can never count out Audi. I'm just massively excited for the long weekend. |

We can see that beyond considering the potential of the cars, people would like to see a change in the usual hierarchy and they vote Toyota.

At this point I would say check out the R18 thread, but the useful information is mired between rather bitty speculative arguing; those of us who are interested are waiting for the final fuel allocations to be made public. |

Yes I am not calling you controversial Pascal. Far from it - you are a man of the people!

But I read everywhere that both manufacturers, FIA and ACO have met often together to make rules that everyone would accept. If a possible correction of the equivalence was scheduled after the test, I'm crossing my fingers that things will be accepted by all competitors. It seems that talks are still ongoing. Those who will go to Silverstone might take a calculator in their pocket. |

I'm going for Audi. It seems like they're the best prepared team.

I think Porsche are the most prepared for the race. Theyve been at it for a while with their car.

Allowing myself to be gently encouraged by the weather forecast for the Easter weekend.
Admittedly a touch cold, but a far cry indeed from what we saw last year, particularly on the Saturday. |
