I can't tell from the angle of Dagys' pictures, but does the Pecom Oreca not have the BHHs and BHF? I take it that Level 5 will be running Dunlops this year. I guess that answers that question. I wonder if any other tire companies will jump into P2 now that Michelin has pulled out. |

On the mirror front, the 458 mirrors look bigger to me too. Also, Simon tweeted two pics of the HPD: http://yfrog.com/mg828rj http://yfrog.com/khpjsbcuj |

Well, Audi would approve of bigger mirrors on the Ferraris! But, yeah, it looks like the 055 car has the BHMs and the 95 car has standard sized mirror pods. Maybe they are trying some things or maybe one car has newer parts than the other. I don't know.

It's hard to tell if the Vette is wider unless you look closely. The ferrari's seem the same, but it's easy to see it in the Porsche's.

They're Ferrari factory drivers, not Risi drivers. The fact that they are testing a Michelotto test car at Sebring means nothing re:Risi per se. The fact that it's entered by ESM rather than the usually factory-blessed Risi could be taken to be a bad sign, if there is any relevance at all to Risi's full-season intentions to be found.

thats a bit disappointing. Maybe the different front overhang and the smaller headlights. Reminds me of the lister storm a bit
oreca 03 and the p2 hpd look awesome imho. Last edited by lms; 9 Feb 2012 at 12:14. |

Love the 'vettes from head-on, they look MEAN! I have to say, i'm a fan of the wide arch GTE's.

It makes the back look out of proportion to me. I will respectfully disagree... I like the old cars better. |

Some impressions on the WDWT from afar just by looking at the timing screens and reading the updates.
1- Ferarri 458s, Wow! They look very strong and I'd say they are preseason favorites for every WEC race. 2- GT in the ALMS is looking excellent. Corvettes seem to have had a strong test as did FL and BMW was great last year. If we can only get Risi to compete, the GT battle (in terms of quality) could be the best yet. 3- Muscle Milk HPD already faster than Highcroft last year. Could be an indication that the privateers may be closer to Audi than we originally thought they would be. 4- P2s very fast. Level 5 running 151s? What an improvement in one year. Looking forward to what the rest of the huge field will do and if they will last. 5- The BHFs on the open cockpit cars look horrible. As bad as they look on the Audi R18 and the Toyota, they look even worse on the HPDs. The BHHs don't look great either but aren't as noticeable as the BHFs. Come on ACO, do something, help us out a bit, make the cars slightly more attractive. Last edited by pach233; 9 Feb 2012 at 23:22. Reason: Added |

Looking at the time sheets from last years qualy vs this years test. Even if a test does not mean much Ferrari's are looking like petrol fueled dynamite. 2.00 flat is darn impressive irrespecitve of fuel loads considering it was against last years qualy with a 2.01 lap. Leave it to the Michellotto run car to scare off the competition haha. Thats some extreme speed! Theres now way Risi wont be back with that kind of speed.

If i recall correctly, the Muscle Milk Aston Martin ran 1:51s in their first test session at Sebring last year.
