Danske should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

I doubt that ESM would be releasing race reports like this if it wasn't correct. I have a feeling that some unknown person (who likes DP's) is just making up lap times without any real data. I'd rather believe a team like ESM. Good thing, is that they are pushing for better tires suited for their cars.
The data is from imsatiming.com. As I said, JvO's first lap there should be a 1:34.58, as he was a lap down on the restart, so add seven more seconds to his total. Looks like they're comparing solely the first flying lap after the restart to Taylor's for the three seconds. They did take a few laps to get down to their normal lap time, but they weren't three seconds down for all of those laps to all the DPs, and only down that much to Taylor on the first lap.
