They said on RLM that they are planning to be ready for warm-up - of course, the car has already been warmed up plenty

It was on the Nordschleife (not the GP track) and certainly NOT on the LMS cars.

Eurosport are showing part of Qualifying, but it finishes in a minute.

The Saulnier car stopped after a few laps...

True !!! Lamy and Sarrazin were in a 308, some other drivers in Porsches...

Amazing lap by Enge to grab GT1 pole. Is Gavin not participating? The last driver list I say had Policand and Beretta driving the 73 LAA car and the usual team of drivers in the 72.

Becoming now longer a rolling chicane, but a stopped one.

And the Virgo/warmed up puns are terrible guys. (At risk of a flaming...)

Anybody know why the JWA Porsche has been off the pace?

Because it's the JWA Porsche, thats like asking why the Vici Porsche is off the pace in the ALMS.

I would normally have a chuckle at a flaming Fiat ..... but I hope the crew at Virgo can get that car back out for the race in good nick ..... they deserve it .

hoppelemine · 17 Aug 2008, 01:21 (Ref:2270317)

I'm rooting for Charouz for a win. I don't think it will happen, but it's nice to see someone else near the top of the time sheets for a change. It's always good to support the underdog. That Lola Aston is fast and unpredictable.....

I wonder what Pescarolo will come up with come next season ?

Mirage M6 · 17 Aug 2008, 06:31 (Ref:2270363)

A couple of days ago I read in Le Mans Racing number 49, that Pescarolo could have a "7 liters GT1 engine" for the next season. They added that Red Bull is going to be their main sponsor during 2009.
But don't get so much excited about the Chevy, it seems a rumour only. It would be great though

Policand did the best time in GT1 and Bruni in GT2

Tom908V12 · 17 Aug 2008, 07:53 (Ref:2270380)

The Lola Aston had less pace during warm-up(both Audis, both Orecas, both Pescarolos had better time)...

Dani Filth · 17 Aug 2008, 07:57 (Ref:2270381)

it's only a 20 min warm-up
but good to see Virgo back on track

ger80 · 17 Aug 2008, 09:32 (Ref:2270397)

RLM is live

AX lover · 17 Aug 2008, 09:34 (Ref:2270399)

Does anybody have a livestream yet?

The stewards of the meeting decided to exclude Olivier Panis from the race due to the fact that the French driver backed up in the pit lane and on the acceleration way.

In agreement with Hugues de Chaunac, Olivier decided to notify an appeal to the stewards of the meeting. For this reason, he will participate to the race on the wheel of the Courage Oreca n°6. However the team has in no case the right to show up at the podium, and the result of the car, which won't appear in the classification, will stay provisional until the decision of the German Court of Appeal.
