Mark F1 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Ferrari 550 in Le Mans speed shocker

I was watching highlights of Le Mans on Eurosport this afternoon and the commentators said something which I find hard to believe.

They said that the Ferrari 550 Maranello of Enge, Rydell and Menu at one point was fastest outright through the speed trap on the Mulsanne Straight. If this is true, for a GTS class car to beat some of the top LMP cars such as the Audi, Dallara, Dome, MG etc on top speed really is a superb achievement, the only shame is that they failed to win GTS after running so strongly early on in the race.
