Pit notes, interview Luc Alphand and standings at 14.00h

13h01 #55 Lamborghini absolutely wants to see the finish line

The #55 Interprogressbank Spartak Racing, Lamborghini Murcielago is currently running 35th out of 36 runners. It is being driven by Rusinov. T
he team are taking things very carefully to try and make absolutely certain that they reach the finish in about two hours time. However it is very borderline whether the car will actually qualify as a finisher even if it does get there.
- 13h17 Interview with Luc Alphand
The race has so far been very challenging but equally rewarding for Luc Alphand: "We are fine so far, the finish is coming closer now, and we are still in the race.
This morning things were a bit tough with the very bad weather conditions. When we were able to switch back to slicks, things became easier again.
The #72 car is running 5th behind the 2 works Aston Martins and the 2 works Corvettes and #73 is 6th.
If we can make it to the chequered flag for the 8th time, we will be proud of our accomplishment.
I‘d also like to thank the spectators for their support; weather conditions have been very bad for them too, and still, they stood by us and cheered us along all the time."
