Huh? Well, I may not know how to spoll, so I will continue concentrating on what I need to do. :-)

The car that I would like to beat, and to me on paper we should, is Alistair McKinnons Lotus Exige. Alistair was a team mate last year and is a good driver although he did not get much opportunity to show it at the time. He is an ex-works Noble driver and Lotus Elise specialist. He is setting up his own team this year as he was fed up with cars going wrong when other people were in charge. Some logic there. His team mates are Dean Lazante and Adrian Newey. That should be some team as Dean is one of the Lazante family that prepare a lot of top cars including Neweys and Ray Bellm's GT40s and his dad Paul Lazante ran the McLaren F1 to victory at Le Mans first try out. Dean also races a lot of differing cars right up to F1! Adrian did Le Mans this year as well as all his other experience. They should know what they are doing.

So, reliability being equal, should our Porsche 993 Cup Car beat a Lotus Exige over 24 hours? We are in the same class. They have a top driver line up, great resources and maybe Adrian will suggest some aero tweaks? Our team has little old me, a pony tailed Greek, and three race instructors, one being Brazilian if that means anything extra! And a 10 year old pure race Porsche.....
