Only 30 mins and no free practice , whilst I know of the rising costs etc etc , it is a bit of a tight run for the $ ... on the 26 th

Ok, so this is my 1st time at endurance racing, but I'm guessing that killing your car/tyres for an extra grid slot or two during qually is probably not worth it ?

Isn't there free practice on the Friday ?

Hope there is, if not i'll be jumping in the car blind in qually!

In Le Mans championships, they only get 20 - consider yourself priviliged

Joking aside, the full hour sessions last year were at times a bit lacking in excitement for the audience

Cough

Did you say "FREE"?

Yep, a touch tight for us as well for with 3 drivers each of which has to do 3 laps to qualify, we have 10 mins each to get out, do the 3 and get back in again, lets hope that there are no red light stoppages

Have you heard something you can share with us, 45 mins would do, 60 would be better

[hunter 66]

Good chance it will be 40 mins , apparently threr are some teams with 4 (??) drivers and that would be physically impossible.

Aha, now that would be an improvement,lets hope that it can be arranged for as you say, with 4 driver teams, they might just qualify 3 if they were forced to stick to 30 mins.

40 mins it is , that should be better

Excellent news, gives us half a chance now with 13.33 mins each.
