Le Mans Prediction Competition - *Results Posted*

[Ardius]

I've edited my post with my DW prediction but I'll post it here too:
17th overall

I'm not sure all of their mechanical gremlins are going to be sorted and its never raced before.
Its also reportedly got a potential handling issue in the wet and the weather forecast (as always) looks mixed. I think 10th and above overall is highly optimistic. I'd be tempted to predict that it will be involved in an incident with traffic but I don't want to be too negative .

I think it should show good pace though.

Here my picks. With a quick reference to the reason
LMP2

#24 Morgan-Judd
(Pity it isn't a Morgan-Ford)
#35 Morgan-Nissan
(same as above )

I thought we weren't allowed to pick the same car twice?

 

[Tintorera]

I thought we weren't allowed to pick the same car twice?

Should be legit in my opinion. Since the R18 Ultra and the R18 e-tron quattro is considered two different cars, why not the morgan with different powerplants.

 

[Stiggy]

LMP1
#2 Audi R18 e-Tron Quattro
#8 Toyota TS030

LMP2
#25 ADR Delta Oreca 03 Nissan
#35 OAK Morgan-Nissan

GTE Pro
#51 AF Corse Ferrari 458
#74 Corvette Racing C6 ZR1

GTE AM
#79 Flying Lizard Porsche GT3
#99 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

DeltaWing
21st overall

 

[BKGlover]

As I choose these, the moment the flag drops I expect all their engines to fall out of the car. Such is my luck making predictions.

That said:
LMP1
#3 Audi Sport Team Joest
Audi R18 ultra
-I like Audi's odds, but not any hybrid tech. Smart to keep one polluting, nasty, non-eco car, but as Germans, they know this already.

#12 Rebellion Racing
Lola B12/60-Toyota
-Le hell? A GAS engine in LMP? At least the most competitive one. First of the gassers last year, repeat this year and passes the broke hybrids.

LMP2
#44 Starworks Motorsport
HPD ARX-03b
-A US team running a Honda in the Le Mans Series 2012 Season. No US drivers, but is that an issue anymore?

#31 Lotus
Lola B12/80-Lotus
-More intrigue than anything, German team of British company, with two Germans and an Italian behind the wheel. This could go well, or burn on the start line.

GTE Pro
#80 Flying Lizard Motorsports
Porsche 997 GT3-RSR
-Simply put, they're in it anytime they're on track.

#97 Aston Martin Racing
Aston Martin Vantage GTE
-Reason 1, Adrian Fernandez. Reason 2, to spite Corvette fans, just you wait for the Vipers to wipe the track with them.

GTE Am
#79 Flying Lizard Motorsports
Porsche 997 GT3-RSR
-Again, they're in it anytime they're on track. Espacially in this class though.

#58 Luxury Racing
Ferrari 458 GTC
-If Gunnar Jeannette is anything like his representation in GRID, this could either be fun to watch or a smoldering heap on lap 3.

DeltaWing
DNF due to accident, 8 hours completed.

Those of you who picked the Pescarolo AMR-One might want to change your pics ASAP, it won't be racing.

EDIT: It may or may not start.

Race finish. #15t overall.

 

[Earth]

Whoever guesses the Delta Wing's result the closest will receive 5 points, that's how it will be scored. Just wanted to put that out there before the race starts.

 

[SagarisGTB]

4/4 for class winners and 46 points.

[boiltheocean]

38 points. Not bad, let down by the second choice for GTE Pro and Am categories though.

 

[Spacegoat]

30 points. Got burned in LMP2 with both my picks scoring zero.

 

[hawkeye122]

39. I picked the #2 Instead of the #1, and I lost points on picking the last-place car in GTE Am. I should have stuck with Flying Lizard...

I nailed LMP2 with Starworks, but Signatech left something to be desired.

Both the Aston and the 73 Corvette were plagued by issues, while the Ferraris ran a spotless race.


LMP1
#2 Audi R18 E-Tron quattro (Audi Sport Team Joest)--6 (2nd)
#4 Audi R18 Ultra (Audi Sport North America)--5 (3rd)
LMP2
#44 HPD ARX-03b - Honda (Starworks Racing)--10 (1st)
#23 Oreca 03 - Nissan (Signatech Nissan)--0 (9th?)

GTE Pro
#73 Chevrolet Corvette C6.R ZR1 (Corvette Racing)--3(5th)
#57 Aston Martin V8 Vantage (Aston Martin Racing/Prodrive)--5 (3rd)

GTE Am
#50 Chevrolet Corvette C6.R ZR1 (Labre Competition)--10

Remind why I picked any of these again, especially the Pro and Am classes.

 

[Tintorera]

Earth, Maybe a ranking in the OP would be a good idea?
So we can see the different scores...

Just pitching ideas here

 

[Earth]

I'll add this to the first post as well.

BKGlover for choosing the Delta Wing to crash out in hour 8, very close to the actual crash. He gets the 5 bonus points

The LMP2 class was by far the toughest to pick, with most scoring 0 points.

[Mac K]

I did crappy this time around

 

[SagarisGTB]

Sorry Earth, but do I not get more points in GTE-Am for the 4th in class #79 Flying Lizard Porsche?

Good show. Thanks for running this.

 

[Ardius]

I'm happy enough with 8th haha! Much better than my Monaco/Indy/600 picks.

 

[Desmo46]

2 out of 4 on class wins ain't bad for a first attempt.

 

[Spacegoat]

I'm very happy with a #6th placed result.

A big thank you to Earth for doing this. 👍

 

[boiltheocean]

I picked the LMP2 class winner too. Overall pretty pleased with 4th considering two of my GTE picks ended up finishing last in their respective classes. Well organised though, may I suggest next year we score it on overall position, winner is the guy that comes away with the lowest score. You'd take a massive hit if your choices retired early on in the race.

 

[Hun200kmh]

Thanks for the overall classification work, Earth. Counting on you to organize this again for Petit Le Mans! 👍

 

[Mac K]

Thanks for the overall classification work, Earth. Counting on you to organize this again for Petit Le Mans! 👍

How about the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen for Grand Am in 2 weeks?

 

[BKGlover]

Pretty fun deal, I'll have to get more involved in these. Not to mention I'm happy just to have ranked. Well done, Earth.

 

[hawkeye122]

I should have gotten 8 points for GTE Pro, not 3...

 

[gorsad]

Did pretty bad, ah well, there's always next year.

 

[Azure Flare]

For the first time in my life, I actually won something!
