I do quite like these sessions now. Glad they haven't touched Le Mans qualifying but this adds a nice tactical dimension.

The graphics over the top are a complete mess though. Drivers being shown against multiple cars.

Good strategy putting the first drivers back in. I noticed the start/finish line is earlier on the straight than tusc. Not sure I prefer that.

#12 R-One off at inside of Turn 11, no drive. Red flag.
Edit - Goodwin really needs to step away from the mic to breathe. |

Red flag was very bad for the #8. Buemi had just finished his tire prepping lap and had started his first flying lap. Now he will have to rush to get in two decent laps on substantially more worn tires.
Edit: I was mistaken, he set a 49.1 before the red flag, so it didn't really affect them. Last edited by Beryl; 20 Sep 2014 at 00:12. |

So the VAG-bros are the first to fall foul of exceeding energy limits? #8 Toyota pole by quite a margin.

Toyota grabs pole!
Buemi kicked ass in that quali. Super consistent Last edited by dbagtbag; 20 Sep 2014 at 00:27. |

They had it all along and no one thought it. It looked like Audi from practice times, but Davidson and Buemi are super consistent. Wonder what the decision is on the #7 blocking.

I had a feeling that Toyota were sandbagging...

It seems that Audi had electronic issues during qualifying that kept them from pushing for most of the session. Still, the #8 getting pole after Toyota seemingly struggled all weekend leads me to believe either they got lucky with improving track conditions, or at least they were sandbagging to some degree.
That's considering that the #7 didn't impress in qualifying or still had some issue. |

Sorry to now triple post, but weather forecasts now suggest that at least the WEC race might dodge most of the rain drops tomorrow.

I think Toyota was keeping some pace in hand but have good setups. Sarrazin went out when the track was stil wet, that wasnt the smartest. They were only a tenth off 2nd place though.

Did Rebellion have a problem or is the car really that slow even with all those BoP breaks? Barely beat the Ligier. "Lotus" is just pathetic.

Lotus had a new transmission flown in earlier tonight. So hopefully things are good for them and they make a show of lmp1-L.

Problem for Lotus is actually a gear shift mechanism issue. They had to get a whole gear change mechanism/gearbox flown in in order to make the race tomorrow.
And Audi showed how important the lap trigger mechanism is on the LMP1 cars--it's the thing that provides a lot of the telemetry on the ERS and other items. With the new LMP1 formula, getting it to work can mean the difference between limping around at reduced speed to make sure you're meeting the ERS for sure, and going fast while meeting ERS. Having to deal with that put them into Porsche/#7 Toyota range in qualifying. 1:50s might be good race pace if traffic is thrown in, but it didn't ensure a front row start. |
