The Oreca 01 is interesting fast! (compared to Pug and Audi!)

Sounds like we are going to keep getting the sandbagging that we saw at Sebring, I doubt any of the tops cars are going to show their full hand until after LM.
I hope this doesn't get too anyoying. |

Strakka 2.5 seconds faster than anything else in LMP2... at least with Danny Watts driving.
Mucke puts #009 into 3rd. |

Lapierre is 0,5 sec faster than Dindo!
Audi is clearly sandbagging. |

The Acura is miles ahead of the other P2 cars, that doesn't bode well for a good race either.

However, the gap between the Pug and the Audi is a good indication that Le Mans will be a tremendous fight in LMP1 possibly up to the last minutes. |

the fastest and second quickest car in each class will start at the same row in their class(P2 in 9th&10th,GT2 in 27th&28th),looking forward to seeing the rolling start tomorrow!

The first real indication we may get tomorrow, but otherwise first at Spa. |

Well they are close on pace at the moment, that's for sure, so for now it does look that Le Mans will be a balanced fight that might last for the whole race. But yeah, Spa will be a clearer picture with the full squads against each other.

Bit off topic but has anyone a link to the official press pics from Paul Ricard?

Most surprising thing to me, as was posted above, was the Acura smoking the rest of the P2 field.

That sort of gap however really does surprise me. I haven't up to now seen any evidence that the Acura is that much faster than a well sorted Lola - based on the evidence with Dyson last year - to say nothing of the Zyteks. I know I'm a perennial optimist, but it's a long race tomorrow and I'd be genuinely surprised if the Strakka car was over 2 seconds a lap faster than everything else consistently over 8 hours. I'm sticking with the call I made in the predictions thread - I see Quifel or Oak winning this one after 8 hours. |
