Great to see Nakajima getting his laps in. Aston martin in front in GTE Pro and Am. By .060 in AM over the Vette.

Umm, there are 3 qualifyings. Combined results: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans#Qualifying_result
Times not necessarily comparable due the revised boost pressures and restrictors.
And the conditions right now are not optimal.

Nakajima set the fastest time for Toyota so far. I doubt he'll be their pace setter. I think both them and Audi will get to the 3:28s today.

And the #8's now set a time just 8 tenths behind. I wonder who's driving it.
Ooo! TRÉLUYER B. hits a 3:28.750 in the e-tron as the track becomes less green and the temp's rise.

Krumm did his 10 rookie laps already, Motoyama is finishing his own, Franchitti will only drive this afternoon. 3'50,195 puts the car inside the LMP2 class pace (done by Krumm I think) but can't tell what the real pace will be, probably Franchitti will push it a litle more later.

The Delta Wing's done 24 laps with a best of 3:50.159 done by Motoyama.
It's sitting toward the back of the LMP2 times with that result at this time. With the best LMP2 time being a 3:42 by Pecom in their Oreca 03 at the moment.
Big divide in LMP2 right now, lots of competition.
And interestingly, Greaves with Ordonez (and the Brundles) and Signatech #23 with Tresson are separated by five tenths at 3:45.9 and 3:46.5, respectively.

Ah well that confirms it, both cars are the same livery.
Looking great though, thanks for the photos.
It's actually Turn 7 that the first chicane's at at Sarthe.
And the name change isn't a big deal, the names for those chicanes can go to anyone. Could be the 7-11 chicane for all I care. It's not like it gives a company "race-cred" or anything.

Yeah... *sigh* and me.
Liked the original color, but it's no big deal, let's just race!
And woot, Duval just put an Ultra on top, 3:27.732.
The e-trons are showing faster sector times but keep losing it toward the end, so there's definitely a lot of time to be had. I expect session 2 to produce times in the 25s at least.
And Sebastien Buemi's hit a 28 with his drive in the TS030!
THIS IS AWESOME
I liked Buemi when he was in F1, it's good to see him showing some good worth here.
and now the first session is complete.

Why so huge interest? Different billboard, nothing else has (probably) changed.
Not the most usual place for photographers but keep checking these:
