pink69 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Who do you think will win Le Mans this year? I think that it will be Pirro's audi but Bentley won't be far behind

I think it will be Audi, but for once I am going to be optimistic. I voted Bentley. I would dearly love to see Mark Blundell take the Chequered Flag after such a torrid time in Champcars.

Saleen's not in the LMP class, it's a GTS. I voted Panoz and pick Saleen for the GTS class.

But I suspect it will be Audi again ...

I also vote for the works Audi. It will take some huge failure for one of those two cars not to win

The question is not WHO will win Le Mans, but Who & what position will the highest NON-AUDI finish?

You must remember that the Bentley's have the same engine in them that is also powering the works Audis. Plus due to reliability problems if all the prototypes go out then Saleen and corvette stand a chance of winning although unlikely.

I think you might have this mixed up with GT racing, Pinkie. I don't think in ELMS/ALMS people can win overall outside their class, can they?

Well Pink69 where do I vote for Porsche........


There's more Porsche's than Audi's. Given a rainstorm or two the Audi's are not quite as fast. I would love to see a rain soaked private mini budget 911 humble the Audi's.

Think they have no chance, well the same was said for Ford, Rondou and McLaren in previous years

Okay simon.When was the last time a GT3 car won Le Mans even in the rain??

And liz , yes they can. Look at what happened at the Daytona 24 hours this year. The GT2 Corvette won even though Prototype cars also took part.

Yes, but daytona was under garra rules. Perhaps the ACO has some provision as to the OA win? Don't know, been looking and have found none. Logic would dictate any class could win the OA victory, but I cannot say for sure.

audi im pretty sure will win, i think the only thing that can stop them will be another car taking them out. as far as reliability goes, there up there. and if something breaks, i bet theyll have it fixed in less than 10 min.

but id like to see panoz win. i think that new car is an excellent design and has nothing but potential. only time will tell though.
