Well people it sure is shaping up to be a great race between Acura, Audi, and Peugeot.
Acura will be racing their new Acura ARX 02a with the Highcroft and De Ferran Motorsport teams and are looking extremely competitive with their pole position. The ARX 02a's front wheel's are the same size as the rear which Acura is hoping to beat Audi and Peugeot in the turns to make up for speed.
I must say that the R15 is stunning. When I first saw it, I thought it was alright but I just love it now.
Peugeot still using their 908.
Here are the qualy times.
1 – LMP1 – de Ferran/Pagenaud/Dixon – Acura ARX 02a - 1:45.278
2 – LMP1 – Capello/Kristensen/McNish – Audi R15 / TDI - 1:45.360
3 – LMP1 – Minassian/Lamy/Klien – Peugeot 908 - 1:45.462
4 – LMP1 – Luhr/Rockenfeller/Werner – Audi R15 / TDI - 1:45.551
5 – LMP1 – Sarrazin/Montagny/Bourdais – Peugeot 908 HDI FAP 1:45.559
6 – LMP1 – Brabham/Sharp/Franchitti – Acura ARX 02a - 1:46.504
7 – LMP2 – Fernandez/Diaz – Acura ARX 01b - 1:49.686
8 – LMP2 – Dyson/Smith/Lally – Lola B09 86 Mazda - 1:51.534
9 – LMP1 – Willman/McMurry/Burgess – Lola B06/10 - 1:51.598
10 – LMP2 – Leitzinger/Franchitti/Devlin – Lola B08 86 Mazda - 1:51.840
Plus BMW return with an m3 in the GT2 class. Which will be a great race against the Porsche, and Ferrari teams.
Oh and if you have ESPN you should check out Audi's "Truth in 24" documentary tonight, it looks awesome and has received excellent reviews.
Anyways I cant wait!!!!!

Huge mistake by Klien though, and now Bourdais leads it. Typical McNish at the start of the race. 
I'm kinda of disappointed with the pace of the Acura's...
