Petrov 3.25,5 in LMP2. That might be faster than Rebellion ever went.

This is the new all time lap record. Stuck went 3.14.8 in 1985. Without the chicanes that is.

For interest this is what I read from the in car speedo on the 3.14 lap.
Mulsanne to first chicane 336kph
Mulsanne to second chicane 331kph
Mulsanne to corner 322kph
To Indianoplis 329kph

There was a lot of noise on the measurement, but I took an eyes view of a steady value. 330 was there for a frame down to Indy for instance.

yes, i noticed those as well. he didn't even need any slipstream on the straights. but 336 km/h without drafting is quite high, i remember the peugeots used to do that type of speeds in 2008 and traveled through the traps at 345 km/h with some drafting. the 2015 audi used to hit 345 km/h with no drafting though, i think that was the fastest i've ever seen. curious to see if toyota will manage to beat that 3:17.475 that audi did in the race in 2015. right now they seem really able to do so.

Yellow at first chicane. Lmp2 in the gravel. Think it's a Manor.

So let's see some new laps from #8 and #9 as well.

LMP2 is just mind boggling too.

Do you think they can go even better with the conditions? I think Toyota might try to better their times with the other cars.

They are saying the track will get quicker. I bet Kobayashi could hit a 3:13 if they let him do another lap. But I don't see the point anymore other than even more bragging rights. Maybe Porsche will just pack up and go home if Koby does a 3:12-13

Cooler air might help later.

For LMP2, the new LMP2 pole time is faster than the Audi R8 by about 5 seconds. Its only 2 seconds slower than the Audi R10 managed, as a full Audi dream team effort.

According to Eric Hélary (Eurosport) Porsche return back on the race set-up and let down the race for the pole.

The LMP2 fastest time of 3:25.55 would have been good for overall pole in 2011. That year, pole time was 3:25.738.

Well, Ford last year were cheating lying *******s, and they have the gall to moan when people don't trust the AT ALL this year.

I hope GTE Pro can get back to being a fair fight again.
