Hmm, maybe Nicos is right. Maybe the Oreca Audi will be ahead of the Champion cars, Oreca are IMO a better organisation than Champion, and they certainly have some extremely fast drivers, fast enough to challenge anyone on the grid consistantly. But all this is beside the point guys, everyone knows Creation are going to be in 1st place come the end of 24hrs.

It will be one of the Champion Audi's. the Audi's will emerge on top after 24 hours, and the Champion team has allready a few years of experience with the car (to 1 race for Oreca so far), and the drivers know the car better as well. they all won Le Mans before. the Champion Team has the advantage over Oreca.

Wonder if Audi has a trick up their sleve. A last minnute hybird? Probly not. The only prototype not to break down last year was the Audi. Champion has the best drivers and the most experence with the R8. Top three #3, #2, #4

One of the champion Audis.
I think there may be 2 races, the first 2 hours when the french drivers in the french cars all compete against one another, then whoever makes it through that intact will then have to beat the champion cars pounding round. Pesca and Oreca will have a hard job to rein in their drivers. |

How can you say that the second Champion Audi is not a challenger. Alan Mc Nish is consistently the fastest Audi driver and if it wasnt for bad luck and bad career calls he could easily be in Kristensons position.
McNish's Audi gets my vote. |

I really don't believe Oreca will get the better of Champion.
I can't put my finger on it, but at Spa Oreca just didn't seem to have a complete grasp on the car. They didn't look anywhere near as polished as Veloqx and Goh did last year. |

But then again, it takes more than "polish" to win Le Mans - as Veloqx and Champion found out last year.......
