7 Wurz 30 1:30.390
Lotterer still seems to suffer from tyre wear in his second stint.
Paul Truswell calculated exactly the same average lap times: http://trussers.blogspot.com/2012/10...est-close.html

He calculated that 34 lap stints are necessary to finish the race with just 6 pit stops. Audi can manage this, but Toyota probably not. So Toyota will need some rain or a safety car to avoid an additional stop.
