Porsche qualifying problems at Sebring
From: http://www.theracesite.com/index.cfm...m_article=6694
The pole sitters for the P2, GTS and GT classes all had their times disallowed following post-qualifying technical inspection in preparation for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. A total of five cars had their times disallowed for various infractions, and they will all have to start the race from the back of the grid.....
..... In the GT class, the first and third qualifiers also had their times disallowed. The No. 43 BAM! Porsche GT3 RS was found to have their front splitter out too far. According to a representative of the team, the car was found to be in compliance during technical inspections during the morning and prior to qualifying. The splitter was found to be 2mm too long after qualifying.
The No. 24 McKenna/Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, which had qualified third, will be sent to the back of the field for having a front spoiler that is too low.
The No. 23 McKenna/Alex Job Racing Porsche had originally qualified second, but will now assume the GT pole. The new top three in class will include the No. 66 New Century Mortgage/Racers Group Porsche 911 GT3 RSR and the No. 45 Porsche GT3 RSR of Flying Lizard Motorsports.
