"Everything is done to play for victory"

"It’s a good result, but I would also prefer to be there on Sunday at 3 pm", relativizes the team manager whose drivers have just completed qualifying in the lead..

"The track has changed a lot in a year and we have had very interesting lap times, it bodes well for the race", rejoices Mathieu Ginès while Jeremy Guarnoni underlines that "the race pace is very high, so we we have no right to make mistakes and a fall can be crippling "… Finally, Randy de Puniet" hopes that it will go to the end "because" everything is done to play for victory! "

Winner in,,, and, the SRC Kawasaki team absolutely wants to win again, after having experienced a series of mechanical breakdowns during the race which had prevented it from achieving its good tests. "From now on, all our racing engines will have done at least 1500 km to test the reliability of all the parts", assured Gilles Stafler at the beginning of April….

For his part, the very fair-play manager of GMT94 salutes the best time of the Kawasaki: "first of all, congratulations to n ° 11 for his pole position", notes Christophe Guyot, whose team, reigning world champion for the and victorious at the opening of the season, is one of the favorites this weekend.

"Prepare for the race rather than aiming for pole position"

"Everything went very well for us, we stuck to our decision to prepare for the race rather than aim for pole position", explains Christophe. "It’s not easy for the drivers to have to ride on worn tires when it is so tempting to put on new tires. Despite everything we start 4th, it’s really not far from pole. We took advantage of Mike’s session to break in the brake pads. We really oriented ourselves to aim for the best possible result at the end of the 24 hours, even if shining on pole is always a great recognition. David will not have had new tires for her birthday but we’ll give her a nice cake tonight! ”

No doubt that in addition to this cake, the most French of Spanish drivers – who turns 38 today – would treat himself to a victory at Le Mans as a birthday present !

In Superstock, the winner of the last World Cup, Yamaha Viltaïs Experiences, will start from pole position ahead of Team 33 Accessoires Louit Moto and Moto Ain. These three teams confirm their favorite positions, but we will also have to count on 3ART Moto Team 95, Tati Team Beaujolais Racing and Junior Team Le Mans Sud Suzuki…
