I thought all the cars ran 3:27's during the test day or is the timing and scoring really slow. What times are you seeing. I feel soo out of the loop.

I don't think anybody will post any serious time this session.. the final 30 minutes of the evening session will have the usual shoot-out.

Eurosport2 coverage started. Coppy and out of sync *facepalm*

...a bit reminiscent of Sebring stream but on TV.

Low temps will help all forced induction cars, it looks like everybody is easing into it right now. I hope Strakka is just starting out easy, looking like they may not be up to par with the Nissan cars yet... Is the Norma driving around in 1st gear?

Peugeot #10's pace is a welcome surprise if the factory diesels arent sandbagging

I am truly surprised to see the diesels flipped at the top of the time sheets when compared to testing 2.5 hours in

They had a fuel leak, should be fixed within the next 10 minutes.

The problem with the 74 Crovette was a steering rack issue.

Kronos Aston had a Throttle Position Sensor issue but its fixed.

I do not wish to jinx the weather but there are some very dark clouds and the forecast is for showers this evening.

Aston Martin 009 is having an Engine change.

Yes, i dont know why, it could be that it is precautionary or a problem or a new engine with different parts or even that they want to take 1 out that has done some running to see if everything is wearing as it should. It was the 24hlemans twitter feed that posted the news.
