The time specifed for ACO LM GT1 cars for 2005 is a 3:52, according to the official statement. I do not beleive however that the ACO really expect the GT1 cars to lap 3 seconds a lap slower than last year, if slower at all. I am aware of the regulation changes for GT1 cars for 2005 intending to slow them down, but with the introduction of the new works cars from Aston Martin and Corvette I really can only see this years pole time for GT1 cars being faster than that of 2004, something in the 3:47/3:48 range is realistic I think. This IMO would be fine too, its getting faster, but nowhere near fast enough to challenge the lead LMP 2 and LMP 1 runners, lets hope the ACO just leave things as they are for now.
