That's why even if SMP and rebellion will get close qualifying laps, it actually won't mean a thing....
Once started the race, guess toyotas will build a safe 10-15 seconds gap in first 20 minutes. Once started GTE overlapping, game over for SMP and rebellion; thanks for playing.
The only ace in the hole for rebellion is their gibson reliability..... soon or later AER will strikes back, while toyotas could however suffer of hybrid hardware issue....

It'll depend whether it rains on Q1 or Q3 me thinks, that's when you want to bump in the lap of the gods in cool air
I think Spa showed there is potential for some fresh hybrid failures, however unless they come at the very last part of the race I doubt it's gonna matter given Toyota can easily come back even multiple laps from behind. The bigger chance of surprise result I reckon comes through potential accidents... there is a larger percentage of GTEs you know. Normally it won't matter on such long track but after SC restarts, with everybody punched up at Porsche curves, you never know.
Anyway with AERs obviously failing and Dragonspeed/Kolles being non-factors, Rebellion once again will be the only even semi-theoretical benefactor of potential Toyota failure. That, or the top LMP2 Oreca
