Jam3s should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

They'll average around the 3L lap mark so it's closer to 2 if not 3 laps. can be quite substantial.

Anyway the average lap time facts from sebring were pretty day and night on the bop needing work and they would have crunched the same numbers to get the same conclusion.

Also I've heard the Gibson struggles when air temps begin to rise above 25C regarding torque loss so worth keeping an eye on the temps for the next round.
