Hammerdown should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
A while back someone mentioned bigger restrictors for the closed cars because of air conditioning. I vaguely remember reading somewhere (Autosport?) that the Pescas ran in 2006 with air-con and the bigger restrictors because the rules didn't specify that it was only for closed cars. Is this true or just an urban myth?

On another tack, someone else mentioned the difference between European and US octane ratings (102 vs 96 I think). How much effect would this have on the power output? Are the Euro teams allowed to take their own fuel to ALMS, or is that privilege just accorded to the Audis?
