Lime Rock Predictions After 1st Practice


This track is called a bullring. Laps are under a minute for each class. There are eight corners, primarily right handers, which forces an assymetrical setup on the cars.

Overall: This is the first time in a while it has been impossible to tell. The top five cars turned in laps all between 47.043 and 47.740. Therefore, whoever wins pole will have the best chance. I say the Audi R8.

LMP1: Audi or Dyson. The Audi is currently fastest, the Dysons are fourth and fifth overall.

LMP2: Porsche. Sorry Intersport, but the new Lola can't compete when the Porsches last the race. Sitting second and third overall, the Porsches could take the overall win as well.

GT1: Corvette. Number 4. Followed by Aston, then the other Vette, then the other Aston, then Saleen.


GT2: Peterson/White Lightning put the above car in the tyre wall at hour 11 in Le Mans. They bought a new one off a racer named Dennis West in California. Now their new car is fastest in practice. I hope Flying Lizard pulls it off, and Risi could do very well, but my prediction is BMW. This track is theirs with their precise cornering and it is about time they got a win.
