    With Ferrari represented by one 430 and an old 575only, the Maranello make has no chance to reach high score.
    I can't see the 430 defeating several Porsche in GT2, and in GT1, the Ferrari stands no chance against Aston-Martin & Corvette.
    Who will win this year? Looks like it's between Audi Diesel and Pescarolo Judd, with the German team almost matching the French one for speed, but expecting better fuel consumption and less stop (up to 4 less).
    The other teams are private and can't compete against these two, although some could be fast at the start.
    I expect a Pescarolo victory.
    Anyone else has a favorite?

    Wyer Gulf Porsche for me, or Rothmans Porsche, maybe a Martini Lancia or the Puegeot....

    Seriously though, I have not kept up on this at all since about the time Silk Cut Jaguar was racing.

    I'll be there cheering for Scuderia Ecosse to take GT2 over Porsche, Spkyer and Panoz. Test day had the 430 top of GT2 at 4:04.252 with second place Porsche 4:04.914 and White Lightning at 4:05.600 in third. Interesting class with 14 entries.

    GT1 favorite for me is Aston Martin (Enge) - 3:51.408 on Test Day. The 550 of Convers was 7th at 3:55.316; Labre 550 was 9th at 3:35.563; Russian Age 550 was 12th at 4:04.706. However, I must admit that hearing the Corvettes at full throttle is awesome.

    In LMP2 without a doubt my favorite is Intersport with their Lola AER - really would like to see Liz and Clint take another class win.

    LMP1 hands down my favorite is Allan in the R10.
