FormulaFox is heading for a stewards' enquiry!
All DPi models within two seconds during the session for determining pit box selection. Mazdas still the slowest, but I'm not convinced Joest wants to push it yet - I doubt they consider pit selection all that important for an endurance race. Fastest Mazda did this "qualifying" session 1.3 seconds faster than the fastest Mazda at the Roar last year(1:37.263 to 1:39.574).

For the record, Mazda's race weekend qualifying time was 1:39.940 last year.

For the record, when I say "all DPi models" I do NOT mean all DPi ENTRIES - I mean each DPi manufacturer has at least one car within that range. Nissan and Mazda both had a car well outside of it.

Makes sense. It's easier to use such things to figure out how big or small a tank a given engine should be, after all. Fuel flow restrictions should be an all or nothing thing - something everyone has to build to in an open class rather than a BoP method.
