just read the results for testing at Silverstone, they are:

Lister Storm Warnock/Jordan GT 1:48:8
Saleen McKellar/Erdos GT 1:49:4
TVR Cerbera Barff/Caine GT 1:50:8
Stealth B6 Pudwell/Greensall GT 1:51:8
Viper Cook/Cunniingham GT 1:52:6
Porsche 911 Sugden/O'Rourke GTO 1:53:3
Ferrari 360 Lockie/Davies GTO 1:54:5
Porsche GT2 Cook/Cunningham GT 1:55:0
(ummmm, dunno about that but that was the official timing?)
TVR Tuscan Lynch/McLoughlin GTO 1:56:1
Stealth B6 Pashley/Webster GT 1:56:2
Porsche 911 Maries/Newton GTO 1:56:4
TVR Tuscan Hartshorn/Johnson GTO 1:56:4
TVR Tuscan Short/Pullan GTO 1:56:6
Porsche 911 Jones/Jones GTO 1:57:0
Marcos Ward/Croydon GTO 2:01:0
Renault Clio V6 ???????????? ??? 2:08:2

Ummm some suprises, funny to see the Steaalth so far off the pace after their excellent start to the season, and thay may not be there at all! Dont know how representative these times sre but hopefully Martin and Simon can do a bit better come race weekend!

Anyone know anyhting about the Renault Clio?

Dunno if im the only one interested in this (Jasongore?) but these are the speed times over the start finish line for Silverstone

Porsche GT2 Cook/Cunningham GT 142.7 mph
Saleen McKellar/Erdos GT 142.4 mph
TVR Speed 12 Barff/Caine GT 141.5 mph
Stealth B6 Pudwell/Greensall GT 140.3 mph
Lister Storm Warnock/Jordan GT 139.8 mph
TVR Tuscan Short/Pullan GTO 138 mph
TVR Tuscan Lynch/McLoughlinn GTO 138 mph

I guess that just shows the overall dominance of the Lister that it can be Slower top speed but still lap much quicker,7 secs quicker than a car it is 3mph slower than, could be interestin when we get to some high speed circuits?

Damn, that Saleen is quick but obviosly doen't seem as well heeled in the twisty bits. Perhaps the Lister is as qick, but needs a bigger run up

So basically Snetterton, Thuxton and Coombe(?) where speed is king because of long straights, the Saleen could dominate.

yeah but look at the Cook Porsche, im a bit suprised by that! obviously needs s bit of work in the corners! think your right about the run up tho, i remember in monza last year in FIA the Vipers were fastest (by 2mph if i remember correctly) through the first speed trap on the short straight but on the long straight the Lister was almost 4mph faster than Labre, dunno if that is relevant tho, what with the differences?

[jase]

If the Lister can be "slower" through the speed trap but quicker over a lap, what is the LMP going to be like? will it be able to take on the Audi's?
