Re: Place your bets! Sebring this Saturday!

Well folks, we've got the strongest line-up of prototypes this side of the FIA, and the most diverse field of GTS and GT cars in ages (fewer 911's and more Ferraris is always a cause for celebration).

What are your predictions for the class winners at Sebring this year?

LMP900- Bentley EXP Speed 8. Martin Brundle's ride.
LMP675- MG/Lola.... in my book it doesn't matter which one.
GTS- Prodrive Ferrari 575M Maranello. Forza Cavaillano Rampante!!!
GT- Risi Competizione Ferrari 360GT Modena. Again, Ferrari GOOD! Porsche BAD! (unless it's a really uncommon Porsche that actually requires something more than a whiny rich boy to drive it fast, Like a 917, or a 935, or Carrera RSR, or 914/6)

Those are my predictions, but I'll also wish good luck to the GT Morgan effort, the now less-restricted DoranLista Judd-MG/Dallara (yes, the engine is now badged MG, YAY! ), the Saleens, the Lister, and Boris Said in the Alegra BMW M3 GT.
I agree with you on all except the GT class. The Porsche's are just too fast an too reliable. I would like to see a 360 win the class though. GTS could go either way C5 or Prodrive 550. I would like to see the Zonda place high.

The TVR has my vote for the long shot (not really) but I would like to see them do well.
