If Ford doesn't give more support the Focus will never be competative.
The SEAT Leon is again on the same pace as the Toledo. This is very very promising for the future. |

Can Alfa rescue their title hopes?
Why are both GR Asia drivers so slow? When the Oreca & Seat Spain cars are so fast!? Priaulx just needs to chip points from Dirk, no stopping the Alfa's today...except Seat maybe in race two. |

BTW I am missing Rob Huff in the results of the qualification. Why? He drove in free practice.

After a few races Oreca is already doing a very good job. I think they will be very competative next season. |

They will try and protect Gio, but they'd have to let him through quick before the Seat's get him. Either way, he'll be in danger territory for race two starting about 7th/8th next to the fast starting BMW's.

Peugeot probably don't want to hang their washing out in public...cos although they've got very pretty undies, those hard to remove stains are an embarrassment |

Just catching the Eurosport programme:
Rob Huff had a clutch problem and didn't run his Chevrolet in qualifying. Jorg also missed a weight check, and so has had his time deleted and will start last. |

A difficult day for BMW, surely the things will go in a good way tomorrow.
I am surprised, again, with new Seat Leon and of course Ortelli and Oreca, strong perfomance. |

The engine in Coronel's car is changed. He has qualified on old tyres.
