Very poor speed from the #7 through the Porsche curves. On top of that, the reliability issue with the #8 is shameful. If this happens in the race, they're already out!

David Heinemeier Hansson isn't too pleased on Twitter.
24m ago Now the sandbags are coming out of the cars! Astonishing pace from Ford and Ferrari. 3:52.5 is insane. 22m ago Pla goes 52.0. Bananas! 21m ago Porsche is currently 3.2s off the pace in GTE-Pro. And the ACO gave them +5kg after the test and Ford -5kg. What a joke. 18m ago Ticknell goes 51.5!!! It's like Ford is just reveling in how hard they played the ACO BOP game. Now 3.8s quicker than Porsche 16m ago This is the worst shambles of BOP I can ever remember seeing in any serious, professional class. LOL. 16m ago Ford and Ferrari must be laughing their asses off. Bigger split within GTE-Pro than LMP2 and LMP3 14m ago Bruni goes 51.5 as well. This is pure comedy. 12m ago They should call it GTE-Ford/Ferrari and GTE-Aston/Porsche. Just so it's clear it's different classes. 9m ago If this is a preview of what BOP is going to be for 2017 in GTE-AM, I think ACO just made it duopoly spec class. |

They could have played the game too. Only Ford and Ferrari that fast? I doubt it.

No GT car has qualified faster than the current provisional pole in GTE Pro since @CorvetteRacing in GT1 in 2008! |

Sadness here is that instead of admiring achievement in GTE Pro the discussion will (correctly) be about failure of BoP Process #LeMans24 |

I'd not ever give up on this class and this race, but they don't seem even close on pace, ATM. |

I understand why you would punish them for the red flag infringement but a 10 minute stop and go in a practice session seems kind of pointless.
