Richard Lietz (#911): “We had a good start and had the pace of the leaders. At the end of the stint because I took care of my tires I think we were even faster. Unfortunately it is difficult to overtake here because of the sand so there is only one lane here where you can race. I did my best. Nick did a very good job as well.”
Nick Tandy (#911): “The stint went well at the start. We were a bit conservative. At the middle of the race I started to push and I probably overstretched the tires a little bit. We had a good battle with the Ferrari and we got in front. I knew the BMW was on fresher tires so it was going to be quicker at the end. I was doing my best to hold him off and it was a good race.”
Michael Christensen (#912): “Coming into turn three a few cars went into the gravel and one came back on the track. I don’t know if he didn’t see me but he closed the door. So I spun. Everyone went past me and we lost a lot of time. The car was very good. We were fast.”
Patrick Long (#912): “At the end, it was a situation where we were trying to salvage the day. We’ll focus forward on the next round.”
Wolf Henzler (#17): “We had a really good weekend. In the race, in the beginning, I was stuck behind another car and could not pass it. Once I did, I immediately did better lap times and could close the gap to the leading group. We finished fourth which is a good effort for the team. It is another step in the right direction.”
