Two of them. Belloc though is an experienced pro and they put him in the car for qualifying.

The Timing is frozen for me, after 3 laps for the LMP's. No time listed for #1... I watched the video, so I know where they stand, but just wondered if others have been having issues with Timing. I've closed it, reopened, refreshed etc... still stuck at same spot.

Funny, I post this, and it finally updates. LOL

yes, but ACO may even decide to get still lighter porsche/aston and give more ballast to 458 before le mans.
Masterpiece sandbanging work for audi to avoid bop... is hard to believe that with a depowered 2011 spec r18 TDI they have been able to run 0.7 seconds under the 2011 pole at sebring, while with 2 new and heavily updated cars they've been so accurate to run basicly with the same laptime of 2011 pole.

I was having same issue with live timing and also here in the united states, the live video of q1 was not available in my country. Any way around this I plan on getting up and watching the spa race online live. Why would they blackout the USA?

Yes, but that is based on the current set of rules . One could easily change the rules to reflect the opposite.

even to put chandock in the JRM hasn't been a good idea when you have better and more lmp experienced drivers... it's not a coincidence that JRM has been more than 2 seconds slower than strakka.

I think a few teams just wanted to give their drivers a bit more track time. That is certainly what was speculated in the case of JRM. It's a six-hour race.

Chandook was actually rather quick in Sebring, I guess they have some other issues.

Chandhok reports on twitter they have been focussing on setup for le mans and a quicker pace would easily have been achievable.

I couldnt be happier for AMR ..... it seems they have indeed got a handle on that beast .

Great to see that the car isnt going to be an also ran effort . But I always thought the main effort was taken away and was focused too much on the P1 effort , when maybe they shoulda been with Gt all along ..... unless of course they have a massive budget .

Happy , looks magic , sounds like a dream and excellant drivers too , what more can one ask .

Bingo.

The best looking car in Gulf colours currently to boot.

I hope they turn up to my home race.

Speaking of liveries, I wonder if it would look better in BRG like the old GT1 DBR9s. Looks damn good as is.

The DBR9's looked the best in the BRG colors, so i would imagine the Vantage would too

I would love to be happy for Aston, I really would as the DBR9 was one of my favourite cars ever, but I just can't help to think that the Vantage would be a complete joke and definite bottom runner without those gargantuan BoP breaks. The rear wing looks so damn massive too...

IMSA did especially good job considering that they're only 1,4s slower than GTE-PRO Felbermayr, who are not only running with 2012-spec wider car and factory drivers but also 10kg lighter (recent Porsche adjustment does not apply to GTE-AM)
