MtC reports on Twitter that a new Ferrari 458 GTE chassis has been delivered overnight to Le Mans, potentially to replace the 51 car... we've seen race-week chassis replacements done before, but that means no matter what time they do in qualifying, they start from the back of the grid.

sssssssss should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridsssssssss should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
so if the gap between audi and toyota really is 2 seconds or less (which i'm not really sure about, but anyways), is that enough for the audis, with their 58 and 60 liter tanks, over the 24 hours, provided that the toyotas (which have 73 liter tanks, if i'm not mistaken) manage to make a race without trouble?

Toyota is still hiding how many laps they can do with 73 liters of petrol.

Audi can do 12 lap stints and Rebellion only 11 lap stints. So it might be that Audi also has the upper hand in fuel consumption.

The sub-forum seems quiet today - is that just because most of the regular posters are now here?

How much improvement will we see from the Toyota's, from yesterday's times? I'm thinking 2 seconds or so.

Also, will the Corvette go faster than 3:55, getting into real GT1 territory?

If the Toyotas pick up 2 seconds, the Audis will pick up 2 seconds too.
