One of the Signatech Nissans was the one beached in the gravel earlier.

Some work still going on with the #51 Ferrari. I think they'll be able to get that car out soon...

#51's out and running again. Great turn around by the team.

 

[Furinkazen]

Lola #29 need to qualify all 3 drivers still.

So fellow GTP'ers, whoare you rooting for?

Personally, I'm a fan of Audi in LMP1 and in LMP1.5 for Pescarolo. Really don't care much for what happens in GT.

Toyota all the way!

 

[Prince.M5]

Definitely a great turnaround by the team. Look at the emotion of the crews when the car gets out of the pit and running... Fantastic job by the AF Corse team!

#70 Larbre Corvette has a flat tyre.

#24 JRM car, Karun Chandhok getting in.
#30 Lola crashed at first mulsanne chicane.

 

[Desmo46]

#30's in the gravel at the first Mulsanne chicane.

#51's going out again.

This will probably get buried in all in the qualifying posts but if you live in Australia and don't want to fork out money for Eurosport then the Ten Sport website will be live streaming ALL 24 HOURS of the race, no interruptions. I presume they would be getting the WEC feed wouldn't they?

The e-tron R18 sounds eerie when harvesting energy.

 

[Furinkazen]

Can I add that they mentioned on Eurosport this evening that some announcement is due about a manufacturer entering next year with a alternative engine... They said Honda.... maybe its Porsche?

 

[Prince.M5]

It could be either one of them. Honda or Porsche. But more likely being Honda. I guess we'll just wait for it...

[Furinkazen]

Not Porsche, since they already made their announcement an year ago.

Toyota actually diving under 3'25. 🤬 yeah!

I don't mind it tbh. It's definitely a unique noise.
