This was final practice from yesterday afternoon. The vette and ferrari's where all running about 3:55 in the morning, but the vettes ran 5 seconds faster in the afternoon. I suspect that they ran the vettes on a full fuel load in the morning and then ran a more qualifying setup in the afternoon, either that or the new Michelins work better after a good French lunch!
Hope you enjoy the trip back from Austria.
BTW Malc the 550s and the 575s are in the GTS classs the same as the C5-Rs, the 360s are in the GT class the same as the Porsches and TVRs. Best time that they tend to manage is 4 minutes plus.
