MAZDA CLIMBS TO GT2 POLE

Sylvain Tremblay driving the #70 Castrol Syntec Mazda RX-8 snatched the GT2 class pole here at Daytona late in the session. On the outside front row will be Andy Lally in the #67 TRG Porsche.
Dominik Farnbacher in the #86 Porsche experienced clutch problems during the session and did not feature in the qualifying shoot-out. The pole position is useful for publicity purposes but is not greatly significant in a 24 Hour race.
Dominik Farnbacher experienced some niggling problems, now being resolved in the garage, after qualifying ninth in 1 mins 50.234 secs.
