Napolis:
How about you guys?
You think we'll be Fast? Slow? Very Fast? Very Slow?
:)
my guess it will be at least as fast as the 430 gte, but that also depends on the drivers, if you hire the likes of Melo, Bruni its gona fly into the sunset, sunrize and claim the trophy

Answer is sort of a relative thing, Jim.
What class will it run in again?
Like most privateers, you'll be medium paced at the start. Not as slow as the back markers - not as fast as the more experienced and sorted out teams with seasoned cars.
You'll begin to find the car's pace throughout the race and where it all fits in the throng. From there it will either be Fast or stay on Pace. if you think you can bring the car home with a race finish - which is commendable for any privateer team with an all new essentially one-off design - maybe continue at a respectable finishing pace for reliability and completion reasons.
If the car is fast and you're in the position to say be Top-5 or even podium, drive it to 10/10ths and go for it all.
...the only thing stopping you in all likelihood, is you!

Napolis:
We shall see...
Been watching Charlie Wilson's war, eh?
Gust:
"A boy is given a horse on his 14th birthday. Everyone in the village says, “Oh how wonderful.” But a Zen master who lives in the village says, “We shall see.”
The boy falls off the horse and breaks his foot. Everyone in the village says, “Oh how awful.” The Zen master says, “We shall see.”
The village is thrown into war and all the young men have to go to war. But, because of the broken foot, the boy stays behind. Everyone says, “Oh, how wonderful.”
The Zen master says, “We shall see.”
...the only thing stopping you in all likelihood, is you!

I'll try not to be (too much) in your way...
@ Pierre: just go faster...... Seriously, the speed difference at Kesselchen must be 100 km/h or so - I know how it feels: last Monday I had a blast as a passenger in a 997 GT2 (really driven at the limit...) when a beautiful old 911 SC "emerged" in front of us just before Mutkurve
@ Jim: you must be very excited counting down the hours until tomorrow noon!! I wish you and your team a very successfull premiere race in the Green Hell - the P4/5 certainly will be a brilliant star (even in black ) for the spectators
In case of Pierre the driver has to be star, not the car
public roads: Porsche 987 S Seal/Cocoa, toll road : Porsche 997 GT3 Arctic/Black
@Porsche-Jeck: in Kesselchen, my top speed is about 188 km/h, so the delta is big but not 100 km/h. But at Döttinger Höhe, I'm hitting the limiter at 211 and the fastest cars are probably at around 290. That's a nice delta... ;)
Anyway, I'm far from being the quickest, but there are a few big cars that must be driven by monkeys... (And I don't mean harrismonkey!)
I thought this was dumped into the bin by some team, so I took it with me tonight.
A car with no wheels... How do they think they will drive tomorrow?...
