Cars will almost surely be slower than last year. 2008 was the big year in terms of statistics If the Acura did 1:44, I suppose Audi and Peugeot won't go under 1:42 either (of course, this is testing-pace, but anyhow). The ultra-mighty 908 of last year did a 1:42 lap at Sebring (true, it would have surely gone faster than that in qualifying, if the session wouldn't have been stopped) so I'd be surprised to see this year's cars better that.
The idea with the new regs are to slow the cars on big straights like the Mulsanne, aren't they?

I would guess there wouldnt be much difference on circuits like Sebring.
