Sepang: Who do you think will win in the GT500 class?

I'm rooting for the Fairlady Z. I'm a big Nissan fan. I think the new Murcielago may win as well. What do you think?

Re: Sepang: Who do you think will win in the GT500 class?

The Lambo will finish last, if they finish the race, if they get qualified for the race!!!! I'm a big Lambo fan, but I'm afraid they won't be able to have better results than the Ferrari Maranello... (same as in Europe..). The day they'll put in it as money as the japanese brand, why not?...

I'd like the 12 Calsonic Z, or Comas' one won this race! But I see no reason why the Supras may be less fast, and why Hondas couldn't improve themselves and create a surprise.
As usual, everything's opened: hope this will be a great race, whatever the result!

The car that took my eyes this year:

No 12 Calsonic Z took the pole! (http://www.jgtc.net/race/2004/04rd3/043qreview_en.shtm)


... And the Lambo is a little faster than the Ferrari!... but over the 107% time to be qualified... (http://www.jgtc.net/race/2004/04rd3/043qual_en.shtm)

... And both didn't finish the race!
Well, that's good for another french driver: Jeremie Dufour! After all the races he could have won last year, this one seems to be the first, but surely not the last!


As usual ,results at: http://www.jgtc.net/index_en.htm

Well, he won this round.

The modenas, 550 and murci had rather poor performance, don't you think?

Of course I know! That's just the reason why I wrote it! I was just speaking about the very next future... But even with development, I'm pretty sure they'll never be able to match the top places Z, Supras and NSX... and win. But I hope time will show I'm wrong!!!!

... And seing its first result in ALMS, one can expect good result from it, I admit! (see: http://www.pistonheads.com/motorspor...p?storyId=8695 )
