Presentation of the 2010 Le Mans 24-Hours field -LIVE!

Contary to all, I do see the BMW's doing well. They have factory blessing after all. However I think they will have a huge task to catch the Vette's who will probably be long gone and having passed the GT1 cars will be  snapping on the heels of the slower LMP2's.

Not sure about the Jag though. Could be a wild card

[Jon King]

I wonder if the Lamborgini will do more than 1 lap this year

I wonder if the Lamborgini will do more than 1 lap this year

Of course it will, but I don't think we're looking at double figures

[Nordic]

The Beemers could spring a surprise, BMW do have a record of doing that over the recent years, however the last time they tried with a saloon it did not go quite so well!.

GT2 will be all about the Vettes I think.

I think the Lambo this year will be a much stronger contender, if its left to the JLOC it will be a shambles again, But VAG will be very keen to ensure that does not happen again and I suspect, if a car does turn up it will be a much better prepared car.

They'll run the Nurburgring 24h a month before Le Mans, which should be the best rehearsal they can have.
BMW could be able to give the Vettes and Lizards a hard time at LM.

What was the last saloon car at LM?

Maybe the BMW3.5CSL? but was that not a sports car? Maybe the Venturi's what were they classed as? The Jag 220's?

BMWs last saloon at Le Sarthe was the 320Turbo I think

JLOC have a brand new car to run, hope its better prepared for the task than the last one.

[Nordic]

I dont think the grp 5 320 Turbo ever raced at Le Mans, so the last saloon BMW would be the CSL.

The last saloon style car with practical 4 seats would be the Nissan skyline I think?
