Flying Lizard No. 45 Qualifies 3rd in GT
No. 44 11th for Utah Grand Prix
In qualifying, the top seven GT cars were within four-tenths of a second of one another. Joerg Bergmeister commented on the session, "We kept improving the car incrementally over the three practice sessions and by qualifying I was pretty happy with the car. Third position should be a good place to start and on race pace, I hope we will be able to close the gap to the leader."
