12 Nov 2011 Zhuhai 6 hours qualifying: Aston Martin Racing: the best we could achieve today

After a podium finish at the previous ILMC round at Petit Le Mans, Aston Martin Racing set the seventh fastest performance in qualification for the Zhuhai 6 Hours, last race of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup 2011.

George Howard-Chappell (Aston Martin Racing Team Principal): “That is the best we could achieve today and I hope that we can be slightly more competitive in the race than we were in qualifying. We expect a tight race at the front amongst the diesels. Any fall-out from that is sure to benefit us if we can have a clean, fast race.”

Stefan Mücke (Driver Lola-Aston Martin #007, Aston Martin Racing): “The car felt very good as usual, and I got two clear laps in during qualifying. I am optimistic for tomorrow as we have made good progress on the set-up through the practice sessions, so I'm hopeful that we can be competitive.”

The start of the 6 Hours of Zhuhai will be tomorrow, Sunday 13th November at 11:00 local time (3:00am UK).
