Pagenaud and de Ferran keep pole

To simon pagenaud and Gil de Ferran, the weekends follow and are similar, and the crew of the No. 02 Acura ARX-66a is not going to complain! Faster than the Frenchman this weekend, Gil de Ferran was logically the driver assigned to set a time in qualifying, like last weekend. It only took the Brazilian two laps of running-in before setting a supersonic time, a time that David Brabham only managed to approach by eight tenths. It is therefore very logical that Gil de Ferran took his No. 66 Acura to pole position, for the sixth time this season. The Pagenaud/de Ferran duo will try to score a fifth consecutive success in order to hope to win the ALMS champion title at the end of the season.

Contrairement à la semaine dernière (Mid-Ohio), Acura ne fera pas le triplé puisque l?ARX-01b d?Adrian Fernandez ne se classe que quatrième derrière la Lola B09 86 Mazda de Marino Franchitti, première LMP2 sur la grille. En GT2, les BMW M3 se sont montrées à leur avantage en dominant leurs rivales. Les séances d?essais libres avaient montré un certain avantage mais ce doublé vient récompenser les efforts du Rahal Letterman Racing Team. Suivent la Porsche 911 GT3 RSR de Flying Lizard (Jorg Bergmeister) et les deux Corvette C6.R, qui disputent leur deuxième course en GT2. Début des explications, dimanche à partir de 21h05 (heure française).
