You can get the top speed figures from the Chronological analysis.

#8 Audi unlikely to run in FP2 as they're working on the front axle differential after it failed near the end of FP1

some people were speculating how audi will easily be faster than anyone else. can't really understand where they got that from. but the persisting reliability issues of this car are really an even bigger concern than the fact that it's shown no speed relative to porsche whatsoever. it seems the radical design's main purpose is sheer ugliness, not performance, afterall!

I posted this awhile back in another thread, but I also question the general unbridled enthusiasm for the new Audi. It easy for fan to quickly get excited when a team tries something new. When anyone (Audi or otherwise) tries something really new, clearly there is some logical thinking behind it that says "it should be better". But in the end, trying something new has risks. The main issue is that it may just not work as expected. Or maybe the idea was sound, but the first implementation didn't quite work. Add on top of that the fact that Audi has changed a lot of other things about the car and you just have a lot of question marks. It may or may not hit its performance goals.

If all of this stuff was without risk or could be predicted in advance, there would be no reason to actually race them to see who is actually faster!

Glad to see Toyota up at the front. I think Spa suits their car a lot better than Silverstone. Seems they have good power from the top speed charts.

In LMP2, interesting to see the "wild card" entry @JotaSport (from ELMS) leading the field ahead of all #FIAWEC regulars

Lol

As if that's never happened before, and as if "wild card" entries are something of mythic today (well I guess their extinction rate sort of is making them mythical?)

It was actually ESM in fp1 and Manor in fp2 that lead lmp2.

Yeah but that was some tweet in mid-session

Anyway, that was interesting and encouraging stuff from Toyota, though as I've said it before, the mix of the downforce kits here isn't really making everything very clear initial performance relation wise.

Kolles apparently had some bigger issue in FP1 but in the second they splitted the two Swiss, which is OK for them I suppose

Is this the first time since 2014 that Toyota leads a session? I guess it is.

Not sure it's worth much, but a nice accomplishment to show they`re on the right track

MaskedRacer User has been fined for unsportsmanlike behaviour!
-You think the key to ESM winning in LMP2 is going to be Cumming's stint? ESM is the only interest in LMP2 I have.

-GTE looks like another AF Corse/Aston Martin battle. Yawn. This class is awesome at Le Mans but for the rest of the WEC season its so-so. GTLM in IMSA is much better (except for the LM24)

-For whatever reason I don't care much about LMP1 this year. Maybe its because the cars and/or the liveries are bad looking.

to lead fp means nothing... also because timelaps are still high; very likely the pole will be no less than 1.55-1.56; and as shown during silverstone fp sessions, toyota can set easily fastest laps, they seem to struggle in race pace. Watching the alkamel site, top speeds are lower than expected... porsche and toyota struggle to hit 300km/h; audi top speeds were higher in fp2, maybe because they tested some very uncharged set-up, infact with less downforce #7 wasn't able to run under 2.00.

In gtpro vantages reach every lap speeds over 260km/h, while others are in the range of 255km/h. I guess ford #67 hit 275km/h in draft.

Anyway I'm not surprised about zytek/gibson great performance! that tub design is almost as old as me and basically unupdated since 2012 or 2013! but still kicking #ss

Yeah, bad day for Larbre the car stopped after the chequered flag in FP1 and then caused a red flag in FP2 - reason unknown.

I don't know if bouncing is a real reason or if that's just Audi's pr excuse. I remember the Audi really bouncing at Spa last year, but they weren't dq'ed for plank wear.

Just because it's a DQ doesn't mean it's a performance gain. Everything is regulated these days. I've yet to see concrete evidence how running too low improves performance, except for reducing overall drag. In today's complicated aerodynamics it can't be good to run a car outside of its intended parameters, including height. Again, look at F1 - pre-2014 cars were probably the most sophisticated in terms of underbody airflow and the cars were run much higher than in the more simple aerodynamics of the late 80s/early 90s. Same for the real ground effects era that ended in the early 80s. So I'm not sure running the R18 too low helps the underbody aerodynamics. And like you said, they could have had suspension issues. Also low tire temp. Those things don't help performance.

Lmp1 is the closest it's been since all three of these manufacturers have entered. Seems Toyota was better in the higher afternoon temperatures and Porsche was better in the cool morning temps. Wonder how this will play out in the race? Sector 2 was bested by Toyota. #6- 54.8 and #5- 54.9 to Porsche's #1- 55.6 and Audi #7- 56.3

On Audi's plank, if it wasn't deemed an advantage, there wouldn't be a rule against too much wear on the plank. It's as simple as that. There's a lot of what-if's, but they were dq'd because of that reason.
