March 15 - Sebring Qualifying

3:53 pm ET - Qualfying is complete. Jörg in the No. 45 qualified 3rd with a 2:03.043, 6/10ths behind the polesitter, Melo in the No. 62 Risi Ferrari. Darren qualified the No. 44 in 12th. Joerg commented on the session, “This morning, I was pretty happy with the No. 45. We had a bit of understeer in the slow-speed corners and were working on fixing that before qualifying. Unfortunately, with the warmer temperatures and the changes, we couldn’t get quite where we wanted to be for the qualifying session. But in general we were the fastest Porsche and that’s a good sign. We have to work a bit more on race setup over the final two sessions and see where we are.”

We’ll be back on line tonight for night practice starting at 7:45 pm ET.

Reminder – Lizards will broadcast team radio transmissions live from the track on race day, starting with morning warmup. For times see http://www.lizardms.com/radio.htm

3:44 pm ET - We're live watching Jörg and Darren qualify the Nos. 45 and 44 cars, respectively. The 62 Risi Ferrari went off in turn one and very nearly hit the wall, hard. With a few minutes left to run, they've got the pole lap, with a 2:02.439.
