Well not exactly.. this is a free practice session not a qualifying session. But at least teams are getting into their stride. The track condition is not good , nowhere as good as Testing. Maybe the torrential rain washed the rack down and left not much grip. Pole today is currently held by the #2 Audi with #1 second and #3 is third.
Fastest time testing was a 3.22.583 secs and today the fastest time is 3:25.415 sec. But this doesn't prove much, the proper job starts later this evening.
This session was brought to an abrupt halt when Tracy Krohn had serious difference of opinion with the tyre wall at The Dunlop Chicane. He walked away but went to the medical centre for a quick precautionary check over. This is looking like a costly couple of weeks for Krohn since he dinged the car fairly firmly during testing as well. The damage to the tyre wall and Armco was such that the session was topped and qualifying will start again at 22:00hrs and go on into the dark.. Roll on 22:00hrs and then the action will begin in earnest.. the sky is looking very murky so it may be that some teams will go for a 'banker' time earlier.
