Don´t get me wrong, I think Tomas is a great guy and certainly felt for him when I saw the marshals pulling him out of the Ferrari earlier this year at St. Pete. He has raced a lot of different classes and has had some great results. I admire what he´s done to stay in racing, for example return back to the F3000 in 2004. It´s just that now and then he makes these silly mistakes.
Back to the topic. I think we´ll see Audi take this. They have so much experience at Le Mans in recent years and they seem to have a solution to every problem. Even when they´re losing time they seem to be gaining some. Those are the moments that will win you the 24 hours of Le Mans. I think Peugeot will run into some kind of trouble. They´ve only done two real races with this car and those weren´t trouble free. We don´t want to see flapping doors or brake trouble at the biggest race of the year. |

Man, it really ticks me off to miss todays qualifying. I wish speed wasn't run over by Nascar so badly. And F1 isn't all to great either, but they are at least getting a tad bit of coverage for it. If only MotorsTV would come to USA.....

The disappointing qualifying time of Pescarolo is the consequence of handling problems.

Bad news for Pescarolo...It's worrying, but I'm sure they will find a solution for tomorrow.
Thanks for the info gwyllion. |

Has the T2M Dome been officially excluded? It did a blistering 124 mph down the Mulsanne.....that's dangerous.

Quick question about the grid - do they line up in class order (LMP1 cars, then LMP2 cars etc) or do they line up in the exact quali order with mixed up classes?

Great, thanks
I think we're in for a classic this year. It's set itself up brilliantly for a great scrap in all 4 classes with possible rain |

I'm getting excited! The GT2 battle will be the best I think. I wish I could go, but don't think I'll ever make it.

Well, that's good - we were in the situation of both the Japanese entries not making it. Now both will (even though I can't see either lasting 24 hours)
