2005 Le Mans 24hrs entry list

[DasModell]

usually the RfH Dome is the faster one .
tyres will be a big factor .

[RacingManiac]

For Le Mans I am obviously counting on Lammer's Dome Judd on Michelin....although the Japanese Dome only ran their first race this past weekend...

I love how all the Europeans are bitching because Panoz got both of his cars in, but Spyker and TVR only get 1 each. GO PANOZ!!

[Coventrysucks]

Erm... no Europeans are "bitching" about that. Not on this site at least.

Its this type of agressive nationalisation that makes everyone think Americans are idiots.

I think it's a shame that the LNT TVRs are not on the list because they had a good chance of a successful result. I see no connection between their exclusion and the inclusion of the Panoz cars, however.

Seeing as how wrangling over the ownership of the LNT team lead to their omission it is ridiculous to even suggest that TVR have been left out because somehow the Panoz team is "better".

only problem is that there are no maserati mc12/mcc's because they are too big

Thats not a problem... keep the cheating little watsits out of there.
Anyway they look ugly in Blue. Why won't Ferrari let them race in red????

For the victory... I would go for the Oreca R8, 'cos the Champion team never seem to have any luck at LeMans
And I'd like to tip the Pescarello to get on the podium.
The Domes and the Zyteks will be quick, but I don't they're well enough prepared and therefore won't have a smooth enough run.

#1Oreca R8
#2Champion R8 (whichever one has 'everything I touch turns to LeMans victory' - Tom Kristensson)
#3Pescarello

The best battle is gonna be between the C6R's and the DBR9s in GT1!!

LNT team has some issues with ACO .. that's why they were not invited ..
i'm really tired of all this MC12 bash .. just forget about it . it didn't kill anybody.... it's a superb racecar . and we will see it at LeMans . probably next year ..

Cheaters shall not prosper... They will just be made to look stupid. Why spend all that money in development when they know they'll be struggling to meet the rules?

Why spend millions without first reading the rule book?

Yeah that looks awesome!
Especially like the Mercedes 500SEC, and Audi 200 !!!! Sweet

+You have Stephan Sarrazin in a STi Spec C Subaru Imprezza.
Will the Falken Skyline make another attempt this year? Or do they finaly realise to race the M3 GTR is just not realistic.

Oh cool! There's a BMW 120 Diesel... that will be interesting.
