LIVE COMMENTARY: LE MANS 24 HOURS 2015 - THURSDAY: FINAL QUALIFYING - autosport.com
16:52 One of the interesting questions of today's qualifying running is whether Porsche can improve on its current pole-position time, Jani's 3m16. 887s from last night. Were Porsche to dip under a 3m14. 843s, that would break the record for fastest average speed for a qualifying lap, set by Hans-Joachim Stuck in a Porsche 962C in 1985. But is there potentially more pace in the Porsche. 1 #47 KCMG ORECA-Nissan, 3m38. 032s. 2 #41 Greaves Motorsport Gibson-Nissan, 3m38. 958s. 3 #38 Jota Sport Gibson-Nissan, 3m39. 004s. Going by the timing screens, Howson, Hirsch and Dolan will start the session in those entries. 17:01 Aston Martin Racing Vantages topped GTE Pro and Am in the opening qualifying session – actually AMR cars locked out the top four. #99 Aston 3m54. 928s. 2. #98 Aston 3m55. 102s. 3. #97 Aston 3m55. 466s. 4. #95 Aston 3m55. 783s. The #51 Ferrari was actually third quickest but lost its best time – a 3m55. 306s – after the session, presumably due to track limits naughtiness. The same fate befell the sister #71 car, but that lost its times earlier in Q1 - which meant James Calado was able to get out late on and post the eighth best time in GTE and sixth of the Pros.
