Albuquerque annoyed by the GTE Pro at Le Mans

The title holder in LM P2 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans Filipe Albuquerque was counting on a poor 12th time at the wheel of his No. 07 United Autosports Oreca 22. The Portuguese, who shares the wheel with Phil Hanson and Fabio Scherer, was aiming for something better, such as a place in view of the Hyperpole scheduled for Thursday evening!

The 36-year-old driver blamed this poor performance in qualifying on traffic. “It’s so frustrating. The GTE Pro drivers destroy (our) laps when they leave the pits, it's just unacceptable... We will start 12th even though we had the pace to aim for the top 6 (reserved for Hyperpole competitors. Editor's note)", he wrote on Twitter. Et conclude: “We need to rethink the qualifying format. »

We have to rethink qualify. This is so frustrating, Pro GT drivers destroying laps on their out laps is just unacceptable…
Qualified P12 and not lacking pace to be on top6 😤😤😤😤.@ 24hoursoflemans
