Let's Get It On

Just about 3.5 days until the new season starts.

Seabring is always very exciting because nobody really has the best idea of who will do well. Obviously the favorites are Audi in LMP1, Porsche in LMP2, Corvette in GT1, and Ferrari in GT2. But the new teams make things exciting on and off track.

Off Season and Seabring Update:

LMP1:

Audi. Fastest of course.

I love the Intersport team, but teaming up with Creation to take down Audi is a gamble at best. Good luck! (Cynical: I guess they didn't get beat up enough in LMP2 last year.)

Autocon is again using Dyson's old EX257 AER Lola's.

LMP2:

Dyson is running Porsche in LMP2. They are also the fastest LMP2, but fastest is a relative term as six LMP2 cars are below last years pole-time and within about a second after the first day on track.

Acura is here. Lowe's Fernandez & Andretti Green. Both very fast. Highcroft is getting faster.

B-K Mazda is not currently in the top six.

Horag is running a Lola-Judd.

GT1:

Corvette, again.

But where is Aston Martin? Only one car, and that a Team Modena with Liz Halliday at the wheel.

GT2:

Packed. 18 Cars. This year we finally get a good mix. No longer is it just a Porsche race.

Ferrari: Risi of course, with two cars. But we also have White Lightning jumping ship to the Ferrari side, again with two cars. JMB racing is fielding the final Ferrari here. Ferrari is the fastest.

Panoz: Team PTG dropped their BMW M3s and bought two Panozs. Robertson Racing is fielding the other one.

Spyker: Only one of this gorgeous car will show.

Porsche: Farnbacher, Bratislava, Konrad, and Trans Sport each have one car. Tafel and Flying Lizard are both fielding two. But the fastest Porsche is the Rahal/Letterman.
