Vanina Ickx satisfied with the qualification

« Our engineer wanted the car to be in 3min30: Franck had a good qualifying? and he went under this bar” commented Vanina Ickx. This places us behind our two “sisters” Lola-Aston Martin. That's pretty much what we wanted: only another gasoline-powered prototype is ahead of us. All three of us are at the pace of the race desired by the team. Personally, it was very important that this was the case for me before departure She added.

Concerning the risk of rain announced this Saturday, the Signature-Plus pilot does not hide her frustration. “ Is this the worst lead you can have? In these conditions, from wet to dry, the car is rather uncomfortable. This is a typical example of what I don't want to see in a race. This scenario is difficult to manage. We feel that the track is drying, that it is going faster and faster. We want to go there, attack a little more? And then finally, we are on hold ».
