Voices from the pitlane after the third qualifying session

Joost Vollebergh - CEO Racing: "We need to knock five seconds off our time. It's still drying out. We want to make sure we hold on to our spot on the fifth row of the grid. Everything is running as planned, and our trump card is the car. We don't need to go flat out and during the race we'll hold our own rhythm."

Marc Duez - GPR: "It's obvisouly great to be able to clinch pole at the end. The car was great, the tyres perfect... but more especially the timing was perfect. Ruben will be driving shortly, he feels at ease in the dry, and he'll do everything to retain our pole spot."

Ruben Maes - GPR: "We're going for it! Clinching the provisional pole in the third session was quite stimulating for the team. We're out to build on this. "

Markus Palttala - G-Force Racing: "The first and second sessions were of no real use. The brakes are still not fully sorted, which is why we didn't take any risks. At the end of the third session I put in a fast lap. Just a question of being amongst the leaders, we don't want to have to start from the middle of the pack. Our Porsche is somewhat slower than those of our competitors, but we do hope to start off within the top-ten."

Francois Duval - ProSpeed Competition: "Everything went according to plan. We obviously can't for ole any longer in the dry, even surprises do come about sometimes. I'm going to try all the same!"

Olivier Muytjens - GS Motorsport: "The Dodge is the second most reliable cars after the Porsche. I'm enjoying driving it and the collaboration with the team is running smoothly. Today is not really that important. Third, fourth of fifth row of the grid... the real battle will be fought out on Saturday and Sunday."

Laurent Vanmoerkerke - Laudi Racing: "A 1:36, that's my target. During our rain session we were pretty fast. We couldn't set another fast time at the end because it was the turn of th uneven numbers to go on track. But later we'll all be together in one lot, and then we'll be going for it!"
