Although we went back out around 20-minutes later, in brilliant sunshine, the track was still wet and none of the front runners improved their times.”<BR> <BR> The second Veloqx Audi of German Pierre Kaffer (1:48.820) lies third on the 40-car grid, less than half a second slower than the similar Japanese Audi of Seiji Ara (1:48.820). A final 45-minute qualifying session is staged tomorrow (SAT) morning with the 620-mile race scheduled to begin at 1500 (BST). Both Kaffer and Ara briefly held "pole" before Davies set his quickest time.<BR> <BR> The Veloqx Audi team dominated the front row of the grid for the opening LMES race in Italy - which ultimately saw the Davies/Johnny Herbert Audi beat the Kaffer/Allan McNish R8 by just 0.663secs.<BR> <BR> Last month, the Veloqx Audis started the Le Mans 24 Hours from the front row and led for over 15 hours before ultimately finishing second and fifth.<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
