With a performance in 1:23:78, the Brit Harry Tincknell will share the first row with the Oreca-Judd of Race Performance. Following will be the Ligier JS P2-Nissan of Thiriet by TDS Racing, the Morgan-Judd of NewBlood by Morand Racing, the Alpine A450 B-Nissan of Signatech Alpine and the two Zytek-Nissans of Greaves Motorsport. These seven LM P2 prototypes are within the same second, prelude to a great race battle where strategy will once again be of paramount importance.
As for GTs, there are three different marques in the top 3 of the LM GTE class, with the Ferrari 458 Italia of the Russian team SMP Racing, the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR of Proton Competition and the Aston Martin Vantage V8 of Gulf Racing UK.
