Let's talk-up Hummer#2. Now that the ASO has given a freebie to everyone who got stuck in the stand, what EV's chance of a top 10. Can anyody in the forum breakdown the competition in-front of EV? Which of them are likely to get passed and which ones are more formitable competitors? I'd say EV easily gets the two guys right in front of him, but how how about the the guys in P5 through P13? Anybody's thoughts?

Yeah, I think those 3 beemers and sole mitsu will be tough. These little WRC sprints will likely hold him to a top15, huh?

I'd say that EV likely passes 331, 362 and 363. The rest have run quite well. maybe we'll get 1 or two drop-outs by the the end. Can he get a top ten?

Nobody behind him is worth worrying about....as long as he has solid problem free runs, right?

They have completely cut out the part RG would have excelled in.

French or not, I hope he gets it into the 10 ten. I don't get this euro-racing....they seem to like this "let's drive fast and follow each other in a line to the finish" stuff. We need a little "rubbin's racing" here to liven-up this follow the leader crap for the balance of this race.
