Not only timing, but also tweeter feed from almost everyone, climate, etc 👍.

I'm also rooting for Aston in GT. I've always liked the exotic factor. It's a shame that the GT lineup this year is so limited.

Added to the op!

 

[Desmo46]

Strakka Racing's the team I'm rooting for primarily.

The DeltaWing's getting the thumbs up too. 👍

Issue with the #8, again! Damn Toyota, come on.

 

[Prince.M5]

The #8 Toyota is moving very slowly now at Tertre Rouge. Unknown problem...

 

[Patrick]

So fellow GTP'ers, whoare you rooting for?

Audi and Corvette .

 

[Furinkazen]

Jota LMP2 off. Debris on start line.

 

[Bram Turismo]

'98-'99 all over again for Toyota.

 

[Cano]

Ugh, way to end the session. Hard hit. Could have been worse.

 

[Furinkazen]

Lucas Ordonez P19.

 

[Prince.M5]

The #38 car went off and hit the tyre barrier at the exit of the Ford chicane.. Might be the end of the session now with damage to the tyre wall and debris on the track.

 

[Wardez]

Man, I really wanna know what happened to the #8 Toyota. How weird was that? Transmission problem?

[Wardez]

So... Ultras or e-tron's for pole?

I'm betting on one of the Ultras to snag it. But I wouldn't mind at all eating my words.

 

[Wardy 944]

Here we go final quali

Some interesting, and quite rare comments from ex-diesel drivers Wurz, Davidson and Sarrazin on the equivalency:

"If they're not black-smoking, you know they're not running full power."

 

[Bram Turismo]

Amazing the kind of speed the Audis and Toyotas approach the Dunlop chicane with. They don't even come off the accelerator in that right hander just before the braking point, and when they brake it looks like the braking distance is nearly none-existent for these cars!

 

[Mac K]

Lotterer is the man! Probably my favourite Audi works driver at the moment.

 

[Furinkazen]

LMP2 off in a big way, 2nd mulsanne chicane.

 

[Patrick]

Red flag out.

 

[Furinkazen]

Car #17 off. Pescarolo Dome off big way in porsche curves. Red Flag. Driver Seji Ara ok.

 

[Wardy 944]

Thats such a shame, one of the best looking cars in the field

He has to go to race control. As RLM say "Don't go medical, go get yelled at" .
