One Car in Each Class - 2012

2012...

LMP1 - Rebellions, either one but preferably #12
LMP2 - don't really care, but I'd say... the Norma, just because also I guess I'll root for Brundle
GTE-PRO - Who do you think?
GTE-AM - #50 Larbre

LMP1 (Factory) - I would like the Toyotas to be competitive just at least so Audi doesn't have it all their own way. (Fave Driver = A Davidson)
LMP1 (Privateer) - Pesca 03, sums up the Le Mans Spirit.
LMP2 - Not too fussed really. Perhaps the Brundle/Brundle/Ordonez car.
GTE Pro - Flying Lizards
GTE Pro - Flying Lizards (I like Porsches)

LMP1: Audi etron quattro #2 - Would love to see a hybrid win + one last hooray for the veteran trio, who know's how long they will still be driving in this combination.

LMP2: Greaves Zytek Nissan #42 - Family teams are cool and I've always liked Martin Brundle.

GTE-Pro: JMW Ferrari #66 - Would love so see Jonny Cocker and James Walker win Le Mans, although it's not likely to happen this year

GTE-Am: Aston Martin #99 - It will be a joint effort by AMR and the Young Driver team and as the latter is based in Paderborn (near where I've grown up), I'll root for them. Plus: Aston Martins are cool

LMP1: #16 Pescarolo. Pretty clear why, I guess.

LMP2: #42 Greaves. Brundle Sr still has the fire burning.

GTE-Pro: Lizards. Personally I'm backing Felbermayr, but it's about time the Lizards got some good luck at Le Mans for once.

GTE-Am: if I were to say or be shot... Prospeed. Because Sean Edwards is finally at Le Mans and he's with that team.

LMP1 (works) - Toyota #7 (actually I don't mind which, but I confess to being a Wurz fan)
LMP1 (non-works) - either of the Rebellions - we can but dream.....
LMP2 - #42 Greaves - how could I not want Brundle to win?
GTE Pro - #80 Lizards (although not that fussed)
GTE Am - #61 AF Corse - to make up for the Kaufmann decision by the ACO last year





(New thread started for 2012 - thanks to Chiana for revisiting this).

LMP1: Toyota #8 - After several tries with Peugeot, Davidson & Sarrazin pull off an upset winning in the completely unproven Toyota...what a story that would be

LMP2: #23 Oreca Nissan - No disrespect for the Brundles but I love the Oreca and the GT Academy concept as a whole.

GTE: #73 Corvette - One for the Danes and Ricky Taylor winning Le Mans would be sweet as well.

GT AM: Just as last year, no preference really...just don't be in anybody's way.

LMP1 Factory - #8 Toyota - underdogs they may be, but Davidson/Buemi/Sarrazin has a certain ring to it. Let's hope they create a few fireworks (not literally ) at the sharp end.

LMP1 Privateer - Rebellion - for all sorts of reasons.

LMP2 - Murphy and Jota - gotta support Jody and I've always been a fan of Jota.

GTE Pro - #77 F-P - Lietz/Lieb/Henzler is surely as good as it gets in this class.

GTE Am - Lizards - would love to see Seth Neiman atop the podium.

P1 (factory) - Audi Etron with the big three in.

P1 (Privateer) - Always like to see the Strakka guys do well

P2 - Status - being in the same maths set as one of the drivers give you a soft spot for them.

GTE-PRO - The number #74 Corvette please.

GTE-AM - #61 AF-Corse, love to see Rob Kauffman shove it to the ACO and I'd like to see Brian Vickers do well.

So was Stuart Hall in 2009 for crashing into a Radical... and funnily enough, he's also back at LM for the first time since that happened.
