Well, Daytona is here so, the big question: Who do you think is going to win?

Do the new DPi cars have the reliability to go the distance?

If not, what will come up on top? Oreca? One of the five Prototype Challenge cars? GTLM?

Any favorites in GTLM? New Porsche? Ford GT?

GTD has the biggest field with 27 entries. What are you guys liking? Lamborghini? Porsche? Acura?

How will Mercedes-Benz do in what we believe is their first Daytona appearance ever?

You can see the entry list here.

My guess is the Cadillac platform vehicles will perform in the top of their class. They have put too much $$$ into their motorsports re-entry to mess this up.

It's all about cubic $$$.

This is the year for the Spirit of Daytona group!!!

And Hopefully the Lexus cars in GTD have a good weekend (vested interest).

I want to see the Taylor brothers and Jeff Gordon do well.

Jordan Taylor has some of the best trolling antics.

I'm definitely going with Cadillac. I wouldn't mind seeing the Taylors or Spirit of Daytona guys win.

This is off topic, but a bunch of us decided that Jensen, Nico, Carl and Tony need to run a car at LeMans this year, as the "Recently Retired Guys" team.

Does the new car have room for a golf bag?

All of the GT cars are sexy sexy beasts. I just want to watch them drive around.
