LMS GT2 vs FIA GT2 who is stronger ?

[rsr]

Its all about the teams.

The best Ferrari teams are in FIA GT, the best Porsche teams are in the ALMS and the LMS has no good teams.

In this question i'd go for FIA GT. its been very close at teh sharp end this season and last for that matter + with the weight penalty makes it harder over the season. Overall i'd say ALMS is the better of the 3.

What were the fastest qualifying laps for FIA GT and LMES at Silverstone?

Or at Spa or other tracks?

Maybe this will change now in Zolder. I just read on FIA GT.com that Marc Lieb will join Markus Palttala in Prospeed #60, so there will be two competitive Porsches. We all know what Lieb can do. Palttala is the fast one of the regular drivers, being held back by racing with a rookie. So, this time it's 2 good Porsches against 9 Ferraris...

Personally, I'd say FIA GT has the stronger GT2 field.

FIA definitely has more depth in GT2 than the LMS does, but the best teams in the latter are at least a match for the former. See the performance of Virgo, Felbermayr-Proton, IMSA Performance and AF Corse at Le Mans this year...

I couldn't compare Silverstone or Monza because the qualifying conditions were 'damp'. Maybe race times would be better.

Spa
LMES Quaifying: #96 F430 (Dunlop) 2:21.205
FIA-GT Qualifying: #51 F430 (Michelin) 2:21.504

Really? How do explain Virgo's pace at LM then? Or their pace relative to the FIA teams at Spa?

Ok how many cars on the average grid for each series?

I think the level of drivers/equipment at the front of both LMS and FIAGT (GT2) is the same... this being proven at races like Le Mans when the LMS teams qualifyed on the first 3 position and were setting the pace in the race, or when guys from LMS have raced in FIA GT and also been on the pace straight away. For example, Davison at Nogaro.

its almost the same in both, about 12 GT2s, but the FIA grid had by far more professional and strong line ups, wheras in LMS, I am sure only 3 cars are in the pace of FIA teams, the Virgo, IMSA and Leib Davison 997 F-Proton, the others, have no chances agianst AF Corse, CR Scuderia and ProSpeed

[minimangler]

FIA GT.

Hands down, argument over

[Subaru_WRX_STi]

great battle at Zolder too today, clearly FIA, has strong competition, next yrear it will be further competitive, CR Scuderia will improve a lot after their learning 1st season, but Porsche must bring more support (ProSpeed ?)
