I'm sure SARD is a little bit different though. Will be interesting to see japanese faces in the garage. And seeing if any beyond the curtain P1 talks with other parties emerge for 2016.

Cannot make predictions on who's gonna win this dress rehearsal, other than very likely not Toyota, but it's pretty obvious who's gonna take pole. Even Audi's low DF package certainly cannot beat the power of Porsche in sectors 1 and 3

Spa's probably the best place all year to make comparisons to F1 times if the weather holds. But hopefully the commentary won't focus on series comparisons so heavily again.

My view of current state

LMP1 factory is amazing.
LMP1 privateer could be great, but isn't attractive or even sensible enough now so it's bit of Derpy
LMP2 is good (for now)
LMGTE provides chicanes for the proper competition so there's the positive bit
How did you come to a conclusion that Toyota, who is running their low drag package, wont be in the fight for a win but think Audi's low drag package will be? Neither has even run a race yet, but Im sure the Toyota favors Spa's layout to Silverstone's. Last season Audi's low drag package didnt come on till the later stages of the race. Weather may play a part too. Im looking forward to Spa more than Silverstone. Much better track imo.
