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

A 3:25 in LMP2, a few years ago that was enough for overall pole

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

3:25.5 in LMP2. Insane speed. Looks like we'll get a GTE record too.

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. Conditions look pretty perfect |

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

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.

Kobayashi did it on mediums as well. Track faster + Soft tires?

1.8 seconds separating the entire GTE Pro field now that Ford is built a beach out the back of the garage. Fancy that!
