No real surprise there. Ferrari now has a golden opening with 3 Porsches each having a gentleman with 2 pros. They can put together a trio of all-pro cars if AF Corse receives a little assistance to field a lineup like Biagi/Montanari/Vilander. Then all they have to demand is for one of them to run the distance, with support from their second-string car (Krohn) and third-string cars (JMB, Farnbacher).

good to see van de Poele confirmed at Krohn, and Bruni is with Risi as brielga announced early on .....

Baring any accidents or overall sillyness Ferrari wins this going away and brielga predicted domination of the podium is very likely, given the pace of Virgo and BMS...

And Bouchut at Larbre

Yes, but with Bornhauser and Hallyday! They will both be a few seconds a lap or more slower than him, don't you think!

Hallyday is pretty quick in FFSA anyway and so is Bornhauser given he's generally racing inferior cars.

I think they'll be fine overall, maybe not lighting fast but solid and could challenge for 3rd-5th place in class. The Saleen when setup correctly is seriously fast, remember.

They are getting help from Orcea as well, even the soft setup on the car was quick, just not on the ulimate pace (about 2-6 tenths off the pace set by Aston Martin and GM Racing)

Bouchut is now my darkhorse pick for pole.

prototype · 24 May 2008, 13:47 (Ref:2210455)

A Saleen on pole would be AWESOME, but I doubt it.

I hope your right. It would certainly be nice to see someone besides the Corvettes and Astons taking up the battle. I think Bouchut would be competitive in a bathtub with wheels so he should definately be a contender for pole.

I thought mackoqieillfsfjwicki was at larbre???

they can't have 4 drivers, thats cheating! and i'd heard lunardi and hallyday, too.

Sad that mackowalkdfjlkaswiekie isnt in it anymore :S
but, plus side...

CRISTOPHE IS GOD!!!

The Badger · 26 May 2008, 16:42 (Ref:2212361)

EI confirm the Oreca/Courage line up .

Number 5 = Ayari-Groppi-Duval .
Number 6 = Panis-Lapierre-Pagenaud .

Decent line up's , but I fancy the 6 car .

supermario21 · 26 May 2008, 16:50 (Ref:2212365)

I think we can safely say that the injury to Ortelli has led to the number 6 becoming the "lead car," especially by putting Pagenaud in the car and moving Duval or Groppi (can't remember exactly) into the number 5.

minimangler · 26 May 2008, 19:19 (Ref:2212455)

Mate, number 6 is TASTY. I'd have that as as good as any line up on that track now.

Dani Filth · 26 May 2008, 19:30 (Ref:2212466)

but with not much LM experience ..
Lapierre did GT last year

WMUCarGuy · 26 May 2008, 22:25 (Ref:2212600)

Does anyone know which 2 chassis Aston Martin Racing will be entering this year?

One query- I'm assuming that Nicolet/Hein/Faggionato aren't in the Creation as well as their Pesca, and it's just a typo on the list...

Seriously though, do we know what the actual Creation lineup is yet?. If JC-W won't be fit in time, we're presumably looking at Stuart Hall and who- Kerr & Ortiz?

Presumably BMS will partner Malucelli and Ruberti with another of their FIA GT squad,so Camathias or Rigon for the 3rd seat? I'd expect Camathias as he has LM experience- alternatively is David Rigon quicker, or might he bring sponsorship?- I don't know anything about him

Creation line-up will be released any moment now ...

The Badger · 27 May 2008, 11:49 (Ref:2212938)

Just a thought ..... the Nicolet/Hein/Faggionato Saulnier car , I wonder are all 3 drivers capable of qualifying within the given % of pole , both in day time & night time ?

I have my doubts .

Let us hope not.

**Aysedasi** · 27 May 2008, 12:45 (Ref:2212981)

I'd rather have the car in than unable to run.......

Hall, Kerr and Johansson?

Lam Pak · 27 May 2008, 14:14 (Ref:2213076)

any asian driver excepting japs this year at mans?

The Badger · 27 May 2008, 14:55 (Ref:2213115)

Whats Yoong doing ?

What was the guys name who drove a Porsche ? He had a strange stylised flower type symbol on his car , decent driver too ?

prototype · 27 May 2008, 18:03 (Ref:2213277)

I think Le Mans clashes with a demolition derby that Yoong has entered.
