FIA WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps.
Club Arnage
Final Free Practice
Free practice probably
doesn’t prove much but ‘bragging rights’ are still important.
Audi have been their usual systematic, organised selves with their
three cars lying 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Possibly less relaxed might be Toyota since the #12 Rebellion Racing
Lola has got ahead of both the works cars. This may or not really
bother Toyota but great credit to the plucky petrol powered Rebellion
lads.
It was a quick, dry
session with the sun actually warming up the track and tyres at last.
The front runners all cracked Fassler’s 2:01.851secs. Remember we
still have qualifying to come so, despite the weird system, it could
be a bit lively.
One or two of the cars
are, as we mentioned, sporting ‘long tails’ so top speeds may be
going up! The #3 car hit 296 kph at Kemmel and some have gone quicker
still. That is about 185 mph! The Rebellion cars also have longer
tails.
So let us sit back and
see what happens later this afternoon and evening. The LMGTE Pro and
Am cars are out between 18:50hrs and 19:2o hrs ( local time) and the
LMP1 and LMP2 cars are out from 19:30hrs to 20:00hrs. At Silverstone
things were a wee bit tense as far as squeezing everything in so this
time both sessions are 30 mins rather than 20 mins.
