It's believed the FIA and ACO had considered also giving the Fords a post-qualifying BoP adjustment, in the wake of its newly-found top-speed advantage over the GTE-Pro competition. Stefan Mucke was clocked at 300.5 km/h in Qualifying 3.
Despite a strong performance so far this week, Aston Martin Racing Managing Director John Gaw remains cautiously optimistic on the outcome of the BoP in today's race. "You don't know until you're five or six hours into the race whether it's going to be two-tiered or whether it's going to be a race," Gaw told Sportscar365."If everyone is going to be in the race, will we have the point-one advantage or not?
