Today the team did a really great job of maximizing our package and where it stands. The conditions were really difficult today because it rained really hard overnight. We were all pretty sure it was going to be wet today. In this morning’s session it was wet for Seth, but I got about five minutes of dry time. Then it rained again in the middle of the day and Seth got the nice, wet track while I got the nice, beautiful dry track. Seth stuck it out in tricky conditions, but he’s done a really nice job of coming back and get used to difficult conditions like a drying track on slick tires. The track seems to absorb water, so it’s difficult to see how wet it really is. Overall, for qualifying, looking at the running order, it says it all. The best Audi is in P10, and that’s our Flying Lizard #45 car. We like to be the top two Audis, and we achieved that. We’re further back than we want, but the engineers have done a really good job of getting us what we want. We feel like we put down a pole lap, but we’re pretty far back. We’re focused on what we can control and keeping our rear tires under us for tomorrow if it’s dry. Rear tire temperatures and pressures will be the keys for tomorrow’s race. We’ll hope we can do a better job controlling that than anyone else and win this sucker.
