LM24 Porsche V's Ferrari at Le Mans (Prediction)

Right folks ..... time to pick your corner .

This poll is about who you honestly think will win the GT2 scrap thats comeing up in a few weeks time , and not about who you want to win .

I know that brielga has poisened many minds with his vile concoctions , the knave !!!

But be honest in your vote .

Ive left the JMB car off the list and the Speedy Spyker , only because there aint enough voting spaces . Dont mean to offend anyone .

ThePenguin · 15 May 2008, 17:41 (Ref:2203295)

I want the Lizards to win, but I think that IMSA Performance will take the win again.

The Badger · 15 May 2008, 17:45 (Ref:2203299)

I went for the Lizards . Cuz I honestly do think that Porsche is the better machine for Le mans .

I also think , even though we dont know yet , that the Lizards will have the best 997 crew there .

I reckon on Bergmeister-Overbeek-Henzler .

Should be one hell of a battle !!!

It must be the lizards turn by now, the last few years have been terrible for them luck wise.

brielga · 15 May 2008, 18:22 (Ref:2203321)

I think Risi will make it this time around.

come again?, autorlando porsche won lemans GT2 class last year, i think it was IMSA MATMUT that won the spa 24 hours but i may be wrong in that assumption.

hoping for virgo to take the class win with their F430, the porsche's are seemingly dull compared to the ferrari's this year, porsche's seem very quiet and dont move around as much anymore like last year which i liked, the ferrari's now have a soundtrack with all that backfiring to match the zytek's, lola aston and lamborghini murcielago!

The Badger · 15 May 2008, 18:36 (Ref:2203332)

Wrong dude ..... IMSA took the win , other wise Autorlando would have gotten an invite .

mattcat · 15 May 2008, 18:46 (Ref:2203338)

I'm going with the Lizards. It'd be nice to see Risi win cause I'm a fan of Salo, but they have looked pretty disorganised this year and while I think they will be faster, I don't think they'll win the race.

Spyderman · 15 May 2008, 19:58 (Ref:2203394)

As long as it's a Porsche it's fine by me.
I have a suspicion it will be Felbermayr.

ger80 · 15 May 2008, 20:33 (Ref:2203426)

Whats wrong here? I am not dutch and I am the first who voted for Spyker.

minimangler · 15 May 2008, 20:34 (Ref:2203427)

Yeah, but they ain't gonna win, Ger.

Spyderman, i was with you.

Well , I reckon the Lizards will have a better line up . I presume Lieb will be with Proton , but will Davison be there or will one of the Felbermayrs want a drive ?

But yeah ..... that car should be quick , as should the IMSA squad .

I wouldnt wrote off Krohn , their always there abouts at the end .

Excuse me?

You probably haven't heared them in real live?
The Ferrari's do have nice backfire pops and bangs,but they still sound like a giant washingmachine on centrifuge,filled with nuts 'nd bolts to me...
NOTHING get's close to the howling cresendo of that big 6 liter V12 of the Lambo,imho.
On top of that,the few cubic feet of backfire coming from the exhausts of the thing are amongst the best I've ever seen in a racingcar so far.

**Bentley03** · 15 May 2008, 22:17 (Ref:2203521)

I see nobody's owned up to placing the Risi/Krohn vote!

i have indeed heard them a fair few times in person, the ferrari' sound glorious this year, the lambo is still the best sounding car ive ever heard, there is no denying that fact but now i feel the ferrari aurally is getting closer and closer to the lambo, realistically the only car that can match the lambo in terms of noise though is the unsilenced 2007 arena zytek, that car's razor like approach sound and raspy screamy V8 soundtrack is something i will never forget.

i agree on the flames from the lambo though, they are bloody impressive and the ferrari's flames cant compare but they can on the maserati MC12's

being british i thought an underdog choice was in order

rich07 · 15 May 2008, 23:22 (Ref:2203567)

I voted Risi but as long as a Ferrari wins and not a Porsche

it's all smiles.

And as for the noise, the Ferrari sounds great but hearing the Lambo makes my day. Thanks Reiter!

dxk1 · 16 May 2008, 00:04 (Ref:2203589)

Voted for Risi, their luck is bound to change.

DK

prototype · 16 May 2008, 00:15 (Ref:2203594)

I voted for Risi.

I am assuming Melo wont find something to slide on or into.

Subaru_WRX_STi · 16 May 2008, 03:54 (Ref:2203656)

wow , only a single vote for AF Corse

its amazing how many here are underestimating the FIA GT2 champions, with a line-up Biagi/Montanari/Vilander it will be one of the most powerfull entry of the class, as strong as their "friends" at Risi

Subaru_WRX_STi · 16 May 2008, 03:59 (Ref:2203657)

shame that the Scuderia Ecosse is missing in this big GT2 battle !

is that line-up confirmed/announced? i doubt it...

**Aysedasi** · 16 May 2008, 07:23 (Ref:2203711)

I know zilch about GT2, but I think I ought to have a punt anyway, so I'm going Lizards......

Dario911 · 16 May 2008, 07:40 (Ref:2203722)

I think Lizards will win Le Mans. They're a greatful team, competitive, fast and tactically ok. I hope to see a Porsche to win in Le Mans again, this year. Porsche and Le Mans, a real classic!
