GT1- AM speed vs C6R fuel efficiency with a few rumored Corvette surprises to take the race to the baby blues.
P2- Porsche Spyders run their 1st 24-hour race. Based on the results, Penske back to Le Mans in 2009?
GT2- Who has done their homework better over the winter, Ferrari or Porsche? ALMS results suggest Stuttgart hit the books harder.
P1- Peugeot speed vs Audi's 8 straight wins [the 2003 Bentley counts - Audi power, chassis, team, and drivers].
Race[r] X Factor- Prototype BLOWOVERS. Thought to be extinct since the Mercedes / Porsche 'Cirque du Soleil' emulations of the 1990's, the current cars also like to fly. Thanks to ACO rules-requiring chamfered undertrays, eg- sidepod ground clearances higher than the center tub, a neat wing effect is created when traveling sideways.
that Vitaphone DBR9 is going to look good...in the rear view mirror ;D

Nice!! Faster and more efficient too. Maybe they have a hybrid motor in the back generating more power.

those flips happened at very high speed and on low downforce tracks. Stephane Ortelli was hit by a GT car in his Courage-Oreca LC70 Judd in the 1,000 km of Monza. Penske is a sandbagger in LMP2. Go # 33 Lola Judd.

please do some research next time. Audi did NOT build the 2003 Bentley. Racing Technology Norfolk did. check mulsannescorner.com

I suggest one checks who owned RTN in 2003 to decide IF there was a Bentley / Audi connection.
