Well, hands up who had IDEC Sport as your provisional polesitter in LMP2? The team has undergone a major transformation over the winter with ex-Peugeot ace Nicolas Minassian coming on board in a management capacity and team patron Patrice Lafargue stepping back from driving duties. It remains to be seen if the team can hold on to the top spot tomorrow, but with rain expected, we could well have a surprise name at the front of the pack on Saturday.
Bruni's mega first lap proved enough to top the charts in GTE-Pro - although Manthey Racing would no doubt have preferred the extra track time, they will be encouraged to see the 1.593s gap to the rest of the pack. While Porsche as all four of its cars in the top seven, Aston Martin will be disappointed to be a long way off the pace, the #92 car almost five seconds off the pace and rebuilt #95 car even further off. Expect much more on that front tomorrow...
