    Tomorrow first two free practice, but weather doesn't look goot for the entire week-end
    One answer: don't believe the weather forecasts in Belgium until you see it live.

    Is that Luís Pérez Companc in the Munchi's Ferrari?

    Car 41 ?

    Anyone knows why car 41, Team Bruichladdich did not run in the qualification ?

    Wanted to follow Ebbesvik, but they stood still in the pits as far as I could see.

    Finally #3 908 driver Sébastien Bourdais gets pole position ahead of #9 Audi Timo Bernhardt

    #2 908 Stéphane Sarrazin got too much trafic to get a better time than 3rd, ahead of #4 Oreca 908 Nicolas Lapierre

    #8 and #7 Audis(André Lotterer and Tom Kristensen at the wheels)follow ahead of Alex Wurz #1 908(set-up problem/oversteer)...

    Fantastic time by Watts on the Strakka Honda LMP2
    The belgian Ford gets GT best time

    I went to Spa on friday. Peugeot's and Audi's were boring to watch. We need some noise!!!
    I had a great time thanks to all the other cars.

    Do you have any doubt that if Peugeot or Audi had an Otto Engine, they would be on the same pace they are now?! The difference between both over the rest is the money they put into each car.

    no. its the engines mainly, as long as the diesels have a huge advantage in acceleration and torque. now if they limited top speed to the diesels, that would make it more interesting, but whats needed is the diesels can stay, but the ACO needs to enforce smaller Diesels engines to the Petrol engines.

    remember the Audi R8 always had its fight with the Lolas and Porsche RS Spyders, and at Lemans they always were slower then the Domes, Pescarolo's, but were more reliable

    Yeah, hopefully what happens is that Aston Martin makes a better car for next year, and that their HP makes up for the loss of torque in comparison to the diesels. I guess they should go for more lower end power as well, to get them on the the better acceleration out of turns.
