Turbodcc should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

SMP car looks fast but so difficult to drive. That might hurt them over a full race tomorrow.
Agree. The f1 drivers had mentioned at this years silverstone round that the track was faster and had more grip but that the bumps were worse, certainly can be seen on the SMP cars.

That's why I was surprised that the NA cars got the weight reduction along with the increased FF for silverstone. TC cars will have gains in efficiency but given that the oreca chassis has been developed over a longer period I think the 15kg weight reduction offered to NA cars was a bit much.

However Button was unlucky with the yellow, would have taken edge off tyres. Fair play to rebellion for getting the car together, great effort, and kolles too. Here's to the prospect of some great racing tomorrow
