19dodge should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
SSM/10-10th's 2004 Fantasy Challenge LMES ROUND 1 PREDICTIONS(+ results after race)

Everyone is free to post your predictions. nobody signed up in advanced, so there will be no bonus point. This is a 5 race championship Monza, Le Mans(24hrs), Nûrburgring, Silverstone and Spa(i am including the 24hrs of Le mans as part of the LMES championship- but the 24hrs will be double points)


entry list here: http://www.lmes.net/fr/index.asp?H=S&C=572&V1=ecu
note: there are a few teams that are not on ths list. I am 100% sure that the Vitaphone/Konrad crew will run in this race (Michael talked about it after the FIA GT race + its on Uwe's Site) - other possible entries are the 2 taurus sports lola's + the Chamberlian Synergy TVR's. Its already almost too late to be posting this to begin with, i wanted to wait till the possible moment.


here are the rules:

--Pick the POLE SITTER for for each class (LMP1, LMP2, GTS, and GT)

--Pick the top 5 finishers in each class (LMP1 , LMP2, GTS and GT)

ENTRIES ARE DUE Thursday May 6th@ 11:59 PM GMT

any questions or comments, feel free to post it here. I hope a lot of you sign up for this championship. Its really wide open in most classes! (maybe except LMP1- but will still be good racing to be the "best of the rest")

I'll post my list later this week...but I'm sure I registered early. I registered for the ALMS and LMES at the same time (or thought I did).

does anyone know what the deal is with GTS? the ACO entry list has 1 konrad saleen, news services are reporting the second vitaphone/konrad is going to be there, and DSC has neither konrad saleen on their entry list... whats going on?

Added note to my picks:

LMP1 looks serious ly strong for this race...

I like the five I picked, but I could have swapped any of the following into the mix for the 4th & 5th places:

Rollcentre Dallara
Creation Zytek
Team Jota Zytek
Kondo Dome-Mugen
Intersport Lola-B160 Judd

and it really goes even deeper with RML and Lister...but they are not in the next five above just because of what seems to me to be a lack of track time to develop what they have....

One could argue that with Team Jota, but the Zytek is a strong car....
I felt it was the best non-Audi prototype in FIA-SCC last year...but issues (spins, breakdowns, etc) hurt them... they were leading the many races against RfH and Pesca when issues hit them...

with a full year of competition under their belts and the fact that the program is directly under Zytek now tells me that those "problems" will be much fewer for all concerned this year...

The only guys I see as backmarkers in LMP1 are Durango, the Spinnaker "Boat People," and Nasamax.....

I just see those three as having problems for one reason or another...whether it is too new (Boat people), too untested (Nasamax) or too underfunded (Durango) to mount a major effort needed at this level....

My "team of Interest" in LMP2:

Team Randaccio.....


If Any Forum members are Going to Monza:

Help Get an Answer from This Team for Me...

Someone please find out if that "Ford V-8" is from the old Cosworth CART engine that is now known as a "Nicholson-McLaren" or if it is derived from something Cosworth built that was 3.5 L....that was being phased out as an IRL engine...

or whatever...

Thanks!

ok heres the deal:

no courage factory car for sure.

there will be 2 saleens. 1 for Nash and one for Konrad (under the name Vitaphone and #59) so everyone that picked #59 so far is ok, even though you said it was a Konrad car (it is, but the name of the team is Vitaphone)

trust the LMES offical site list. because DSC's list is wrong right now. there will also be 2 Taurus Sport Lola's entered, and DSC doesnt even have those!!

how abou this: everyone start over starting tomorrow monring. by then, we should get a firm idea on who's in and who is not. so the above 2 entris WILL NOT COUNT. you have to re-submit them. (because both of you included the courage comp car in there)

Would it be okay if you just submitted a different LMP2 top five instead? But even so, there's only four LMP2s to choose from for five spots.

Theres only 4 LMP 2 class cars at the moment entered for the Monza 1000km's, so would it be better to predict the top 3 for LMP 2?

BTW....

I moved the Tampolli up a notch in my LMP2 picks after receiving info from Malcolm Cracknell at www.dailysportscar.com that was a brief piece they published from Oct. 5, 2003 about Mr. Randaccio, the Tampolli, and his plans for this year...

The full info is in the "Post Monza LMES" thread....

Take a read over there....I think these guys are definitely a dark horse this weekend, and may even be as well-prepared (if not moreso) than the other three teams that will compete in that class this weekend....

This is going to be a seriously good race! Each class was difficult to pick. It's tough to figure out which Audi will finish first and which will get pole. And the non-vag race, man. Pescarolo, Rollcentre, the three Zyteks, RML, Taurus, Kondo, etc.
