Le Mans Part 2

GTE Pro
The Pro class of the two GTE catagories is filled with diversity with Ferrari, Aston Martin, Corvette, Porsche, and the return of Viper. As the Viper and New Porsche 911 (991) enter the race for the first time the Corvette C6.R makes its final appearance in the higher of the two GTE classes as the new C7.R will make its debut next year at the Daytona 24 but with that said both of the American sports cars have been off the pace in both testing and qualifying. The good news is that it's a long race, the bad, it's a 24 hour sprint. Expect this class to be a fight to the end
Predictions
1st: Porsche #92, 2nd: Aston Martin #97, 3rd: Corvette #73

GTE Am
The Am class gets some Star power in Patrick Dempsey making his 2nd trip to the twice around the clock race, and is looking to be a serious threat for a Podium as Porsche factory driver: Patrick Long is the Pro for the team. Dempsey is not the only Star as there is 8 as in 8Star Motorsports looking strong in their Ferrari in the WEC in both Spa and Silverstone. This class will be decide on which team has the best amateur driver.
Prediction
1st: 8Star #81, 2nd: Labre #50, 3rd: Dempsey-Del Piero #77
