Unless you meant more Ferraris or Astons which is about as uninteresting as Porsches for most people

Riley being left out of LMP2 is something one might argue about however



I think that 2007-2008 spec Corvette C6.R / AMR DBR9* / Saleen S7-R with modern 2018 spec Michelins (and no BoP crap) could do about 3.43-45. at Le Mans today, not only because of the tire advancements but the track being million times faster too.

* Yes I know those have been run in the AMR Festival at LM in recent years with terrible pace, but they have been trialed by amateurs. And I'm not sure but probably in slow-ass 2010 FIA GT1 setup too
Agree, with nowadays confidential michelins, aero updates and weight/power ratio like 1100-1150kg/600hp, quite sure those GT1 will be scoring close to 2012-2013 lmp2 laptimes.
