Ok I am finding staring at live timing and scoring a little dull without car noises, wouldn't it be cool, if americanlemans.com streamed sound from the start finsh streight

I'm quite impressed by Pirro's pace in the Drayson Lola; outpacing the AMR squad is surprising!

nice parody at the top of the GT2 chart:
Top 5 has all "major" makes/teams. question is: anyone sandbagging?

so far bmw, corvette and ferrari have all broken the 2min2sec barrier BMW today with 1.5, corvette yesterday with 1.8, and ferrari 2 days ago with 1.5(by hand stopwatch so +-0.2sec error)

from Jhony Molhams interview at the RadioLemans he said that risi always runs old tires and full tanks, never gives its hand away. They (radioLemans) were also preaty sure corvettes and bmws will be doing the same thing!

From lizards blog, it appers they are having difculty with setup on the 2010 tires, overalll lack of grip, an the back of the car is unstable in turn 17 bumps, witch can be testified as they are the only ones not below the 2sec barer yet.

I think we could expect around 2min laptimes during qualify and Best lap during race(witch is usualy faster then quali time)

Also from what I folowed from the live timing, it could be expected corvettes an ferraris will run 2min,3sec averige laps during the race (didnt watch that much of BMW and Porsches)

i am still impressed with falken, 202.047. tires are showing some speed, especially with Wolf at the wheel, I wonder how they will do with tire wear?

Pirro with a 146.4 is great too.

and Jag wasnt slowest in gt!

Lord Drayson must be very pleased that he snapped up Emanuele, he might be old(-ish) but he's still a formidable weapon in a P1. Also, they might help destroying yet again the dicton of "nice guys finish last"...

GT2 has become very appealing theses days. I'm pretty much only looking forward to Gt2. It's an interesting game of cat and mouse that all of the teams are playing in GT2. Two Corvettes, Two BMW's, a porsche and a ferrari

I think BMW has released a new more powerful spec engine that Schnitzer was testing (Thats why as soon as the engine had trouble they packed up and left the test immediately) that had problems and BMW fixed the problem and sent out the lates spec to Florida which was the plan all along. If you look at the speed of the cars you have to remember that the BMW doesnt get the restrictor break it got last year.

What has happened in GT2 why are they so much faster than they ran here last year. i think it's the heat that Corvette racing has brought to the playing field.
