PORSCHE KREMER RACING

As with Brun, WS-PC form should be ignored because of use of Yokohama crossplies. Another strong driver line-up for the Kremer brothers, whose entries are well-financed from Japan. Cars are unlikely to be as quick as lead Joest 962, but will certainly figure at the front of the Porsche pack. Will be guaranteed top ten contenders if they run without major dramas. #10 - New Thompson chassis running on Yokohama tyres. No practice problems, but drivers struggling to do better that 3m 33secs. George Fouché was drafted in to try the car; time of 3m 24secs credited to Giovanni Lavaggi by ACO and erroneously earned 14th place on the grid. Gearbox oil cooler problem and floor damaged by kerb only major delays, holding 11th place when huge fire caused dramatic spin and retirement at Dunlop Chicane for Kunimitsu Takahashi at noon on Sunday. #11 - Good qualifying run from Geaorge Fouché to earn 10th place for the new LeytonHouse-backed chassis. Several early stops with misfire dropped the car down order, before Masanori Sekiya had a huge accident at the porsche Curves in the fourth hour, driver unhurt.
