Qualifying session has just started. It's 7pm, but sun is still high. We will have this session for 2 hours. Then another one for two and half hours after one hour break.
A few cars started engine before 7pm and waited at the exit of a pit lane. Today's weather is very fine. Temprature is, I think, a little bit higher than yesterday.
It's 7:25pm now. Currently a monitor screen says that a car #49 (McLAREN BMW F1 GTR ) is the fastest with average speed of 200.722km/h and it's lap time is 4 minutes 3.92 seconds. Second is a car #6 (NORMA AUTO CONCEPT BUICK) 0.93 seconds behind McLAREN.
#13 (COURAGE PORSCHE C34) has got the first place at 3 minutes 54.05seconds at around 4:40pm (average speed is 209.186km/h).
#24 (McLEREN BMW F1 GTR) came to the second at around 7:52pm. So far, it proves that McLEREN F1 is very competitive and have a great advantage against other cars. It currently occupies 2nd, 3rd 6th, and 7th place. It's 7:58pm
Nissan brings a new car called GT-R which is only available in Japan. They are currently 15th place at 8pm (car #23 NISMO NISSAN GT-R LM). Honda is doing a great job, too. Their fastest car's position is 13th (car# 47, HONDA NSX GT1) at the moment.
