James Weaver plaatst de nieuwe Dyson Lola op de pole. Door de 35 kg ballast staat de Audi R8 pas op de 4de startplaats. McNish en Capello zullen de volgende 3 ALMS races niet te veel punten verliezen op de concurrentie, maar winnen zal moeilijk worden.

En FIA GT race in Silverstone dan? Of gaat het om ALMS? Later dit jaar zal de C6R gegarandeerd op pole staan want dan doet Aston Martin niet meer mee?

[marcel]

ik denk dat het om ALMS gaat, daar rijden toch de fabrieksteams?

[Raceboy]

beide porsches vooraan in warm up, audi 3de. Astons seconde trager dan corvettes.

De echte freaks kunnen het gebeuren om 3 uur live volgen (via live timing en radio lemans).

R8 wint, De corvette's 2de en 3de algemeen, dus ook winnaar in GT1

[gwyllion]

En Aston Martin 4 en 5. Dus 4 GT1s in top 5. De betrouwbaarheid van de andere prototypes (Porsche en Lola) liet te wensen over.
