Porsche make it a clean sweep at top of times

Porsche made it a clean sweep of leading the session times after the night-time running of the official Prologue WEC test at Circuit Paul Ricard today.

As the sun set creating a beautiful golden haze around the atmospheric Provencal track, the #18 Porsche 919 Hybrid driven by Neel Jani completed the fastest lap of the day on 1m37.220s.

Just like the afternoon session the Porsche LMP1-H team locked out the top two positions as the #17 Porsche 919 Hybrid placed second on 1m38.635s.

Audi continued to put limited laps on their new LMP1 cars but they still set third and fourth best times this evening. The #7 Audi R18 e-tron quattro slightly outpacing the #8 R18 e-tron quattro. Loic Duval and Benoit Treluyer set the respective best times tonight.

Toyota ran in to the night time with both the newly numbered #1 and #2 Toyota TS 040 HYRID LMP1-H designs. Anthony Davidson set the fifth fastest lap this evening with a 1m40.378s lap, while Stephane Sarrazin was just behind on 1m41.309s.

KCMG finished off a very encouraging first public day of testing as Matthew Howson topped the LMP2 category times in the electric-blue ORECA 05-Nissan with a 1m47.456s.

The LMGTE spoils fell to AF Corse Ferrari and Aston Martin Racing respectively. The Pro category saw James Calado complete a best of 1m59.009s, while Stuart Hall crossed the line to set a 2m00.582s best in the Aston Martin Vantage V8.

The first track action of the year burst in to life today and perfectly set-up more anticipation for great action on Saturday when over 8,000 spectators will visit the circuit, free of charge, to witness the birth of a great new WEC season.

The first of the two 4-hour sessions will begin at 09.00cet.

Congratulations to #99 Fernando Ress!

BTW the sound coming from that ASTON Martin is incredible

Audi did a great job! (Of course) Audi R18 e-tron quattro #7 finished in P3 and car #8 in P4 !

BenoitTreluyer was the quickest Audi driver with 1m 39.058s

Quali tweaks equal epic feats in 2015 WEC!

One of the most noticeable changes to the regulations this year is the modification and simplification of the qualifying session format.

As per 2014 two drivers will still have to take part in the slightly reduced 20 minute session but the key point now is thatinstead of an average time set with the two best laps from each driver (an average of four laps), it is now the average of the best lap set by each driver – so an average of two laps only.

With drivers set to have fresher tyres for their qualifying runs, the fans and public are set for a real treat of flat out quali laps in 2015. We caught up with some WEC stars to see what they made of the changes for 2015.

Brendon Hartley - Porsche Team

“It is obviously less complicated for the fans to understand so that is probably a good thing. Also there have been times in the past that it has rained ahead of the session and made things complicate things further. A lot of course is dependent on track conditions and how we get the tyres to work of course.”

Alex Wurz - Toyota Racing

“Well I always did qualifying last year going first and I didn’t try and extract everything from the car so my team mate would have good rubber for his laps and also for the start of the race, which worked well. But I think probably the new situation in qualifying is better for the fans and also maybe the drivers because we love sticky tyres and going for it, so it should be exciting.”

Fernando Rees – Aston Martin Racing

“For sure it will be easier for everyone to understand and will make for better TV. This is important for the WEC and I think after we have all got used to it, it will be a big positive for the Championship and how it is perceived worldwide.”
