I'll hold off on who's fastest yet. Looking at the timing results, Toyota's did their best on 1-lap flyers, Rebellion's did their best at the end of an 7 and 6 lap stint for the #1 and #3 respectively. Who knows, but I expect it to be closer than what FP2 showed on ultimate times. The long runs look pretty even with times between 1:38's-1:42's for both teams. Ginetta is about a second off the pace.
