sssssssss should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridsssssssss should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Somewhat weird sector data from lemansseries.com; today both the first and the second sector are much slower by both cars (and the others, of course), and the last sector is much quicker, so that full-track times are very similar to those of yesterday. So they moved the sector limits around when timing, or could they have used another track configuration today than yesterday (that would be an improbable thing to do)?

Anyway, yesterday we had:
Oreca Peugeot 908 HDI best sectors:
1- 0:28.568 2- 0:26.269 3- 0:47.329; Ideal Lap- 1:42.166
Audi R15 TDI Plus best sectors:
1- 0:28.875 2- 0:26.363 3- 0:47.458; Ideal Lap- 1:42.696

and today we have:
Audi R15 TDI Plus best sectors:
1- 0:30.072 2- 0:30.524 3- 0:41.423; Ideal lap - 1:42.019
Oreca Peugeot 908 HDI best sectors:
1- 0:30.135 2- 0:30.648 3- 0:41.699; Ideal lap - 1:42.482

Now, the last sector's fastest time isn't set by Audi (spot 2) or Peugeot (only spot 4!), but by the Oreca AIM. That might tell us that both Audi and Peugeot slowed down their pace coming to the last part of their fastest laps, so that the times won't come out as spectacularly fast as they would be if they ran at their full real speed.
And yes, the Audi R15 has really done the fastest lap of the weekend so far.

P.S. Peugeot's ideal lap of today is slower than the ideal one of Sarrazin yesterday.
