    Looks like Ferrari has a stranglehold on GT2. I'm very sorry not to see Scuderia Ecosse amongst the entries - they are a terrific team.

    The Ferrari battle as I see it will be between AF Corse and Risi #82 (assuming that's Salo/Melo) and the top three fight will be those two plus Flying Lizards. Any way you look at it, it will be a great race. LMP1 will be awesome with 3 - R10's and 3- 908's. I'll be pulling for Team Modena for GT1 - as I recall there's 4 Astons in the group along with 4 Corvettes and a couple others.

    Sad to see so few Porsches but, they did it to themselves. Nice to see so many Ferraris.

    Enjoy the race Carol!

    Me too - we'll see a good portion of them race prior to the 24 hour, so we should have a pretty good clue as to ability/performance/etc. I'll stand by my prediction in the initial post. We'll get a chance to see how well Tafel does in the 430 (but look at their paid drivers for the event) at Sebring - GT2 there will be a very strong class and it's going to be a Risi #62 (Salo/Melo) vs. Flying Lizard #45 (Bergmeister/Henzler) battle for 12 hours! Only a couple weeks to go!!
