I think Intersport will be a challenger for the 3rd spot on the P1 podium, and possibly 3rd overall as well. They had a good battle with the Corsa car last race for that 3rd place. With the P2 cars losing some weight we might see that next spot behind the 2 Acura P1's more heavily disputed.

Testing has started for the GT cars and Lizards are in the early lead, a tenth ahead of Risi. Times keep coming down too.

Now 5 diff makes in top 5!

Thank you for the kind post

MJ_N_09 · 6 Aug 2009, 20:28 (Ref:2516964)

Wow....Neiman 9 seconds behind the next GT2 car.

4.5 behind the slowest Challenge car.

MJ_N_09 · 6 Aug 2009, 20:35 (Ref:2516968)

Now for the LMP class.

**joeb** · 6 Aug 2009, 20:42 (Ref:2516978)

I think the Vettes have represented well so far.

HORNDAWG · 6 Aug 2009, 20:44 (Ref:2516980)

Yes, so far.

L.P.

Purist · 6 Aug 2009, 20:46 (Ref:2516983)

Good overall pace from the P2s so far. I assume it's just a glitch with the T&S and that it's really Pickett/Massen sharing the #6 Porsche.

And now the P1s step on it.

HORNDAWG · 6 Aug 2009, 20:50 (Ref:2516987)

It should be correct, Pickett/Graf is who the reg. drivers will be with Sasha in for long ones.

L.P.

Purist · 6 Aug 2009, 20:52 (Ref:2516989)

I was just confused because I thought the pieces I had read said it was Sascha alongside Greg instead of Klaus.

**joeb** · 6 Aug 2009, 20:54 (Ref:2516991)

The Corsa team hasn't made it on the track yet.

MJ_N_09 · 6 Aug 2009, 20:58 (Ref:2516992)

Actually, they are on track now.

**joeb** · 6 Aug 2009, 21:08 (Ref:2516998)

All it usually takes is for me to type it!

**joeb** · 6 Aug 2009, 21:09 (Ref:2516999)

BMW moves to tops in GT2, and now red flag.

Law gets in the 44 and strait away jumps to 2nd in GT2.

**joeb** · 6 Aug 2009, 21:16 (Ref:2517004)

now that is impressive!

anybody know why the red flag?

HORNDAWG · 6 Aug 2009, 22:11 (Ref:2517023)

Evidently one of the challenge cars went off, way off in the gravel somewhere.

Pretty good showing by everyone.

L.P.

Purist · 6 Aug 2009, 22:24 (Ref:2517028)

I don't know that I'd expect the outright (LMP2) lap record to fall, but it will be interesting to see if the LMP1 record is broken by the Acuras. At present, they're about 3 seconds off of last year's overall pole.

dxk1 · 6 Aug 2009, 23:25 (Ref:2517060)

Nice to see Pickett and Graf running competitive times. I had thought they could but am still happy to see them actually do it. They could make the LMP2 class very interesting with 4 highly competitive cars.

So, have we concluded that Cytosport is a better team with better drivers than Dyson, then? Or is something else going on here. Or is it just Thursday?

I vote for thursday! Don't know what Dyson's times were last year, but no class qualifying times of last years are in danger of being matched at this pace, but then again.......it was a test session!

and weather could be a factor this year if the 40% chance rings in.
