I'd guess the Acura is Strakka's

Standard ECU, spec rear wing, revised front aero, no traction control, more weight. Two cars per team are mandatory.

It is hard to see in the pic, but it almost looks like the Acura is running a legal wing for the LMS. I guess Wirth may have had that update ready ahead of time.

Good spot. Does look like a 09 spec wing.

Great spotting all round! Acura definitely looks to be in 2009 ACO-legal spec, and yeah, I think that's Watts' helmet too. Cat fully out of bag.

The black 'mystery car' is almost certainly the 2010 development Porsche GT2 - it's traditional for them to run their development car at the post-season Michelin tests. The 2009 car broke cover at that test last year.

Good to see people already out and running GT1s in 2010 spec now - at least they're going to do a formula I strongly disagree with well, rather than badly.

Definitely a 2009 rear wing. Just need some pics from trackside to see if the Acura (or Peugeot or Audi) are running with 2010 spec bodywork. Probably too soon.

Definitely not enough water. It seems they're having to bring out the water truck every 20 or 30 minutes. The small test track beside the circuit is plenty wet though, in fact I think someone's on it doing some donuts...

That it is, its the same chassis as we saw at the tyre test last year with the 09 Developments on, only this year it has the 2010 Developments on.

Some while back JMB Racing commented on developing a Ferrari (599?)for the new GT1 rules, havent heard anything since then, anyone heard anything ? I fear the project won't see fruition, it would be fantastic to have Ferrari back in GT1.

Havent any pictures shown up anywhere yet from the test? Would be fun to see how the wing, diffuser and fornt bodywork differs from the 09 cars on the Vette and MC12.

It would be great! The 458 is fine for GT3, but too small for GT1. However, I don't believe it will race as long as Maserati competes there too.

Unfortunately they reveal very little detail-wise about the cars, being more Michelin press pack arty photos. What I can see of the SRT Corvette's splitter does not look different from 2009.
