Looking forward to this, should be a great show. Also, it is the last ALMS race here, and potentially the last LMP1 Race here too. They'll be honoring Sean Edwards. Also, the Falken 911 GT3-RSR has a new paint job, designed by someone who plays Forza 4.

Personally, I'll be rooting for Risi Competitzione again, but I wouldn't mind seeing SRT get a victory as well. For P1, Deltawing all the way. Here are my winner predictions:

Kinja'd!!!

P1: #6 Muscle Milk HPD ARX-03c - These guys have been unstoppable. Should everything go well for them, and so long as nothing breaks, they should win. Rebellion may give them a bit of a challenge, and their championship has been clinched, so they may either take it a bit easier, or try to finish their season as the most dominating team in ALMS history.

Kinja'd!!!

P2: #551 Level 5 Motorsports HPD ARX-03b - Two of the top 3 points leaders are in this car, but this will be close.

Kinja'd!!!

PC: #52 PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports Oreca FLM09 - This is also going to be a very close race, with many teams still in contention.

Kinja'd!!!

GT: #93 SRT Motorsports SRT Viper GTS-R - I think the Vipers are going to do well in this race. The large back straight should help them. The Corvettes may also give them a run for their money, as they look to maintain their lead.

Kinja'd!!!

GTC: #22 Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup - Alex Job Racing is closely behind Flying Lizard in the points, but they have a better endurance record this season, with a win at Sebring. This will be a close battle as well.

Are any Opponauts attending? Who do you think will top out each class?

cant wait, highly unlikely that my fav Risi Competenzione will pull through but SRT was beast this year, i call them on top. Flying Lizard will pull through also.

LMP1: Muscle Milk, closley followed by Rebellion. Dyson will run into trouble, just like the Deltawing.
LMP2: Anyones game.
LMPC: Core.
GT: Corvette. They have the mechanical grip and a beasty V8. The Vipers might still not be on pace with the relativley new car. The 997 is too old, and I don't belive in the Z4.
GTC: No idea.

The Z4 is just not as fast on the straights, and Road Atlanta does have a couple of good straights. It should be a great race.

Really would love to go, since its a reasonable drive for me as of last month. But, I was just at VIR a couple weekends ago, and was at Road America in August...and Indy in July, and about 10 times in May, and Daytona in January....and yeah. Maybe next year...

I just love the track, in my opinion it is the best sportscar track in the US. It is a shame WEC doesn't visit it anymore.
