Track Records:

LMP1 Audi Sport Team Joest Audi R8, Frank Biela - 1:48:029/123.300 mph (2002)

LMP2 Rand Racing Lola B2K/40 - 2:01:171 (2004)

GT1 Corvette Racing Corvette C5R, Ron Fellows - 1:57:052/113.796 mph (2004)

GT2 AJR Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, Timo Bernhard - 2:04:876/106.727 mph (2004)


The #4 Vette was DQ'd last year, so the #3 car has the official record. I show a different car for LMP2, couldn't find the speed or driver though. The BAM! Porsche had the unofficial quick time at 2:04:169, but was also DQ'd. FWIW

Regarding the lmp2 best qualy time, it is very difficult to say, since back in 2003 the b01/60 were lmp675/lmp2's.

So here the best qualies in 2003:
- Dyson Lola Ex257 1:49.361 (now P1 car)
- Essex Racing Lola B2k/40 2:01.976 (best of today's P2 cars)

Just my 2 cents

I understand the Intersport B05/40 headed Tuesday LMP2 unofficial times and AJR (#23) headed GT2. Are there any comprehensive unofficial timing lists for these classes? I'd be particularly interested to see how TVR, Spyker and Panoz compare to the Porsche's.

Straight out of the box and posting respectable times - KRUSE. Well done chaps.
Just hope those Dyson MG's kick some Audi bums.

I am impressed with the new Lola that is one quick car straight out of the box. Saying that the C6 is pretty quick too.

That panoz is super quick too . Disapointed to see the Dallara so far back . The Saleen is doing well and the Maserati is certainly sandbagging !!!

Just think how quick it will be against restricted LMP900s at Le Mans and the LMES!

Also good for the prospects of more cars fighing for the overall win.
