“The car feels really good – but it always does when Alan (Mugglestone) prepares it,” grinned Alex Brundle, evidently delighted to be so close to quickest in the day’s second session. “I’m confident now that Tom will be able to put in a good performance in qualifying now, with the car running the way it is. For me, I’m just so happy with the way my first run in competitive sportscar is going, especially here against a full and very competitive grid., For me, it’s just fantastic to have this calibre of drivers around me, and to be ahead of them in practice.”

“We had an issue with a fuel leak, and that delayed us joining the session,” explained Stuart Hall. “I was pleasantly surprised by the pace when we did go out, and to be quickest in that final session was a great boost, ahead of qualifying. I’m sure the others are keeping something in reserve, but the car feels good, especially for a race stint. That’s the main thing here, ahead of a six-hour race. Qualifying simply isn’t that critical, particularly when you’re in a field of just five cars. I feel we have a car now that consistent for a good race pace, and that’s what we’ve been working on. I did a run there of ten or eleven laps, with almost every one under two minutes, and that should be a good pace here for the GT class.”

“The car felt good this morning, and it was getting better all the time,” said Warren Hughes. “The car still seems relatively quick, but the track felt very different. I’m still pleased with the pace, but we couldn’t repeat those morning times this afternoon – but then again, neither did anyone else.”
