24h Le Mans: Jetalliance Racing strong in GT1

A strong performance by the Austrian Jetalliance Racing team in qualifying for the 77th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans: Alex Müller put the Jetalliance Aston Martin DBR9 into third place of the GT1 class in the first qualifying session - as expected, this result did not change during night qualifying. Hence the trio Lukas Lichtner-Hoyer, Thomas Gruber and Alex Müller will start the "24 Hours" from third on the grid on Saturday.

Lukas Lichtner-Hoyer: "We were able to test a few things in night qualifying and gained some important insight, especially concerning tactics. In any case we're very confident going into the race. We're the first Austrian team at Le Mans since 1972. That also constitutes something of an obligation. That's why we're going to give our all to get to the finish."

To help achieve this, the crew will receive massive support tomorrow: About sixty people will travel to France Saturday morning to keep their fingers crossed.
