Brought the confusion after the race the last official final results of the ACO that the results of the first two places in the GT2 should be considered by the technical review of the engines as preliminary. This led immediately caused speculation that irregularities in the subsequent check of the Felbermayr-Proton -Porsche and the Farnbacher Racing should have given Ferraris. Rumors of the stable is not passed testing of the two German teams made the rounds at once. However, probably the representation of the ACO was just misleading, as Horst Farnbacher told us now by telephone.
"No - with the stable-test has nothing to do. The ACO just wanted the best-placed to perform the best-placed Porsche and Ferrari once again a more intensive check engine. But this was to not make more in Le Mans. So the engines of both vehicles have been sealed and the cars then back to the producers - in our case, to Otto Michel - gone. There they will be reviewed in the coming days with representatives of the ACO. I go in our case not believe that there are irregularities discovered. At least with Ferrari this approach was probably more the engines of risk Competitione or AF Corse . We have a regular customer engine - therefore I expect there anything relevant. "
So only a false alarm? Both GT2 top teams will assume that the result does not subsequently change. Profit would be in such a case, the third team to date - the BMS Scuderia Italia team, a Porsche Marco Holzer, Richard Westbrook and Timo Scheider began for. This team had in the last hour with a failed clutch and a fight only to have five pots running engine and was close to the task. New Second would be that the AF Corse Ferrari team before the IMSA Matmut Porsche.= gt-eins
