I am a bit surprised Cadillac racing locked out front row in hyperpole qualifying. Alex Lynn set the best time of 3 min 23.166 seconds in #12 Team Jota Cadillac while Earl Bamber put the sister #38 car alongside and only 0.167 seconds slower. Both cars have a great driver lineup. First Le Mans pole for USA since Ford did it in 1967. #5 Penske Porsche 963 was third fastest. Must note, long race so pole means very little in race strategy, plus there may be some qualifying sandbagging involved with the other manufacturers (Ferrari). 21 cars in the top class take the green flag Saturday.
LMP2 has #29 on pole
LM GT3 class, #27 Aston Martin got pole, #21 Ferrari second fastest, #46 BMW third, #61 AMG Mercedes fourth and fifth fastest #92 Porsche. Interesting that top 8 GT3 qualifiers are all different manufacturers.
Watching as much as I can on Max tomorrow
