Selve løbet sendes live på www.americanleman.com/live Som ventet blev det en kamp mellem Peugeot og Audi, og igen trak Peugeot det længste strå. Bortset fra Le Mans, så har Peugeot haft overtaget i 2011.
Det blev en tæt kvalifikation, kun godt et halvt sekund mellem de fire fabriksbiler, til gengæld var Oreca-Peugeot´en på femtepladsen næsten to et halvt sekund efter pole-tiden! ”Best of the rest” blev schweiziske Rebellion Racings Lola-Toyota. 007-Aston Martin fabriksbilen har strammet skruen lidt og er otter, mens årets ALMS mestre fra Dyson Racing (Lola-Mazda) er nummer tolv og næstsidst i LMP1!
Derefter følger alle LMP2´erne og LMPC´erne med Level 5 Motorsports ”andenbil” med Tucker/ Franchitti/ Diaz som klassens hurtigste, mens de førende i klassen den anden Level 5 HPD ARX med Tucker/ Bouchut/ Barbosa er på tredjepladsen. Det ser ud til at Level 5 satser på Tucker som LMP2-mester, da han er anmeldt i begge biler. Var det ikke mere sportsligt, at lade Tucker og Bouchut køre hver sin bil?
Hos LMPC´erne er Intersport Racings Oreca hurtigst med Marcelli/ Drissi/ Ducote/ Ducote.
I GT-klassen måtte BMW´erne med Auberlen/ Werner/ Farfus og Müller/ Hand/ Priaulx se sig slået af AF Corses Ferrari F458 Italia Fisichella/ Bruni/ Kaffer. Jan Magnussen og Co. er lidt skuffende på en ottende plads, men Jan er jo kendt for at kunne køre sig op gennem feltet, så intet er afgjort.
Begge Jet-Allinces Lotus Evora´er er kvalificerede som henholdvis nummer 46 og 48.
GTE-AM klassen føres an af AF Corses Ferrari F430 med Bell/ Aguas/ Kauffman foran Krohn Racing ligeledes i Ferrari F430. Her er kørerne Krohn, Jönsson og Rugolo.
GTC har de hollandske brødre Jeroen og Sebastiaan Bleekemolen sammen med Tim Pappas på pole i Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.
De hurtigste kørere:
LMP1 Anthony Davidon, LMP2 Luis Diaz, LMPC Kyle Marcelli, GT Gianmaria Bruni, GTE-AM Rui Aguas, GTC Jeroen Bleekemolen.
