Practice Times
 
Dean and Formato are going to walk this one by the look of things - and you wouldn't expect any less of them, or the Lanesra Panoz.

No full list of times available, or the complete entry, so whether all those from eleventh fastest onwards are present remains to be seen.

At least the new boys are enjoying themselves.

Tony Littlejohn: "The car was a bit ropey to begin with but we have a good deal of time in the European Le Mans sessions to get things sorted out. We made some changes and then it improved massively. I'm really chuffed because I'm only 0.5 off of my teamn mate Xavier's (Pompidou) time, and he's a recognised Porsche expert. I feel confident we have got the legs on the PK and Harlow cars and I'm looking forward to qualifying now. I started off by doing 1:19's then got down to a very low 1:17 and Xavier posted a 1:16, so we should be looking good for a class pole. We'll see however..."

Stephen Stokoe: "The car needs a little more power. I think we're in a very tough class with two Saleen S7Rs to beat, but Charlie (Cox) and myself can work on the setup tomorrow and hopefully we'll have a good car for the race. We won't be going for a pole position in class, that's for sure, but just to find a good balance for the race. I don't really like the track. It takes a lot to please me though! There's not really anywhere where you can get a good rhythm, there are too many slow and then just fast sections, nothing really flowing. But it's what we have to work with, so we'll just get on with it.".
