LMS: Peugeot in front row with Gené and Lamy

8-16-2008

From Le Mans Series

Marc Gené signs his first pole of the season and places the Peugeot n°7 just ahead his colleagues Sarrazin and Lamy.

Just behind them, with the third time: Stefan Mücke and the Team Charouz Racing System's Lola Aston Martin.

Both Audi will take the start on 4th and 5th position, thanks to Alexandre Premat and Dindo Capello.

It becomes a tradition in LMP2: Jos Verstappen takes the pole! Smiles were on Porsche team's faces, because of Jos' pole position of course, but also because of 2nd place of Casper Elgaard (Team Essex) in the category, 9th on the overall starting grid. Good performance of the Porsches!

One Aston Martin and two Corvettes settle the leading trio in LMGT1 : Thomas Enge made the best time, followed by Olivier Beretta and Guillaume Moreau. The start will certainly be powerful between the Team Modena and the Luc Alphand Aventures' drivers.

The "French guy" Anthony Beltoise takes the lead in LMGT2, really happy of his result at the wheel of the team Farnbacher Racing's Ferrari F430 GT.

Marc Lieb for Felbermayr-Proton and Richard Lietz for the team IMSA Performance Matmut complete the trio.
