There were significant differences between the factory teams at Spa this year with respect to fuel mileage and speed. Aston Martin was fast, but Porsche was getting two more laps per stint than Aston Martin. Ferrari was intermediate in both metrics and won.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16916020.post-50380194719432311772013-06-20T23:54:46.832-04:002013-06-20T23:54:46.832-04:00Either Toyota or Audi could surprise with race fue...Either Toyota or Audi could surprise with race fuel mileage. I'm thinking of Indy in 2012 when it was assumed Chevy would walk away from Honda and Honda went laps longer on a stint and Chevy teams were a non factor. If Toyota is able to pressure Audi, Audi (drivers) will start making mistakes. Rebellion is there to pick up the pieces and grab a podium.<br /><br />GTE is for Aston Martin to lose in both classes. Ferrari got held back by the ACO at the end of last season and the Porsche isn't there yet. The main wildcard is whether Corvette is sandbagging, they got handed a weight penalty after the test day meaning the ACO thinks they are (the ACO had access to teams telemetry so BOP adjustments were made on more than just laptime).<br /><br />P2 could be interesting.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16318593729905281033noreply@blogger.com
