So, the entry list is out... who do you reckon will do the business at Snetterton?

In GTO, I think the two Moslers will be battling it out for the victory again closely followed by a hungry pack of TVR's which should produce some exciting racing.

In the Cup class I can't see anyone beating the Porsches, although it will be interesting to see how the RML Lotus performs on its debut.

I'll be supporting anyone but the moslers as you may have guessed!!!!!

Not that I don't like them, I just like competetion.
It's the same reason I didn't like the Saleens last years and don't follow F1!!!

do you support the moslers ego???

No, I can't say i'm a fan of the Moslers either. To me they just don't have the "personality" of cars like the Ultima, TVR's, Morgans or even the Clio...

Still if they are the fastest things out there you can blame people for racing them!

Well, if Gareth and Steve in the TVR can finish 4th after starting at the back of the grid, it will be interesting to see what they can do if they qualify further up the field!!

Yes...I agree with 'top'............. C'mon C.D.L.!!!!!!

...and with a bodged prop-shaft resulting in a huge vibration.

...and that was pretty much Gareth's first run in the car.

I have a good feeling about Snet. Steve seems to go well there, they could give the moslers a run for their money. So long as they beat the "works" T400Rs I'll be a happy easter bunny!!!!

Serious prediction.

Ok, i'll commit to names - top three...

1 Short/Herridge - Mosler
2 Balfe/Derbyshire - Mosler
3 Johnson/Lynch - Eclipse Tuscan

..although the Ultima should be fast if the teething troubles have been sorted out.

And in cup:

1 Pearce/Griffin - Tech 9 Porsche
2 Staveley/Mallock - Tech 9 Porsche
3 Cunningham/Robinson - Morgan

yup. I'll go with both of those predictions.

Heart over head on the CDl thing, but i'll not write them off. it'd be nice to see the morgans do well again too.

To be honest it could be any of the Tuscans, but I went with the Eclipse because of the teams experience with the car and the great pace it showed in the first round.

I am going to predict an "Eclipse" win, but only just because Martin Short is always good at this track! Outside bet for driver of the day; Dan Eagling!

1st Lynch/Johnstone
2nd Short/Herridge
3rd Brady/Scott
4th Eagling/Srimpton

Any reason why they pulled out? Were they just not ready on time?
