Voices from the pitlane - ten minutes before the start of the race (part I)

David Hart - PK Carsport: "I've only driven six laps. Two in the dry, then just now during the warm-up and four in the wet with the compulsory qualifying. Not really that many kilometres, but it will have to suffice. With the absence of Anthony and Bert I'll have enough opportunity to drive ... It's all looking good."

Marc Goossens - GPR: "I'm therefore not the only one with the few number of laps. It is a good car, that's for sure. We'll be driving our race, and everything will be fine."

Kris Wauters - AD Sport: "We haven't Voices from the grid just before the start of the race experienced a single problem. That's a positive sign. It's now just a question of seeing how reliable the car is. The Porsches will perform well, and on top of that they re economical whereby hey save lots of time in the pits. A bet? A 996 or a 997 will win. We have to spend too much time keeping an eye on the wear and tear of our disc brakes and the pads. Otherwise we'll be in the pits far too soon ..."

David Loix - ProSpeed Competition: "The assignment is to win! We're going all out for victory!"

Frank Hahn - G-Force Racing: "We've done everything to make sure that the car is in perfect order before the start. All vital components have been replaced. The only thing which is worrying us a little is the gearbox, but on the other hand ... in the 24 Hours of Dubai we didn't experience any problems. Markus will attack during the first five laps, after which he will reduce the rhythm. We're driving our own race, without forcing the car. We'll see where we land up tomorrow."

Stéphanie Boden - Daikin Racing Team: "It is important that we keep the car whole. This obviously applies to everyone, but we really want to bring this race to a satisfactory ending. On Thursday the gearbox let us down for the second time this season. We still don't know why it happens, but we do hope that the gearbox will hold now. We're definitely not going to push."
