With the end of Wednesday night qualifying, it is the #8 Peugeot 908 HDi of Stephane Sarrazin on top of the pole. Stephane took the top slot by just .906 of a second with a lap time of 3:27:033 followed closely by the #1 Audi R18 TDI driven by Marcel Fassler with a time of 3:27:939. With one more day of Qualifying it will be interesting to see what happens in the battle between Peugeot and Audi.

With about an hour to go in the Thursday night qualifying, the #1 Audi R18 TDI hit the stopped #60 Aston Martin Vantage. Both drivers appear OK, however both cars are heavily damaged, and are being flat bedded to Parc Ferme. The #2 Audi R18 was being driven by Romain Dumas, and came around the Mulsanne corner to find the #60 Aston Martin Vantage being driven by Roald Goethe which appeared stopped at the outside of the turn.
The Thursday night qualifying session has been extended until 12:06 due to the red flag, and the green flag has been flown and qualifying has continued.
Current running with 35 minutes left are:
#2 Audi R18 TDI 3:27:939
#1 Audi R18 TDI 3:27:949
