#7 Soufi / Paul / Elkmann / Lefterov (Lamborghini Huracan GT3)
12:26 p.m. Team Principal Franz Konrad: “In qualifying we had a bit of bad luck with traffic and code 60. We actually wanted to go into the top qualifying, but that didn’t work out. We then continued to work on a good setup for the race, and in Qualifying 3 we showed that the race can really do something. The time was excellent and I think we have a top car for the race. I hope that they all hook up front properly, that we can sneak up well from the back. The weather is extremely the material, and the high temperatures mean that the load is higher.”

We parked the car so that the tire stays in one piece. Then we can analyze it. We’d rather sacrifice the warm-up now and know what was going on!”

We are now taking part in the warm-up to confirm all the settings again. The temperature is much higher than in previous months and the tyres work differently. We are happy that we managed to find the right initial pressure.”
