Porsche and Corvette in row five

The #34 Racing Team Turkey by TF Corvette of Charlie Eastwood, Salih Yoluc and Peter Dempsey advanced out of the first qualifying session and into Hyperpole for the second straight race. Dempsey, the team’s Bronze-rated driver, was fifth in the opening 15-minute qualifying session followed by Yoluc’s run in Hyperpole that put the Corvette on the fifth row of the LMGT3 grid.

CHARLIE EASTWOOD, #34 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “It’s been a pretty straightforward weekend. We started as good as we could with P1 in FP1. The Corvette felt great right out of the box. We tested here about six weeks ago, and it went really well. We ended up P10 in qualifying. There were a couple of cars that seemed very good over one lap, but the ones at the front definitely we know that the Corvette has better degradation than them which seems to be a huge factor over the stint here. I think it will play into our hands in the longer stints but we’re in a good spot for the race. We just need to get some points on the board. Imola didn’t go to plan, obviously. We need to get a solid result… no mistakes, no drive-throughs for track limits and all that stuff. Le Mans is just around the corner and we need a bit of momentum behind us going into the big one.”

PETER DEMPSEY, #34 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “It’s been good so far. We’ve been building, really, and trying to rebound from the disappointment at Imola. Free practice went well. Our car feels good but the tire deg is really high here for all so I think we’re in a decent spot to start the race tomorrow and try to get a bit of redemption from Imola. Everyone is maybe not showing their full cards yet, but we feel like we are in a good window. The balance feels good, and it seems we’ve improved from where the team was last year. Hopefully we can manage the deg better than everyone else, have good stops with no penalties and see where we end up.” Source: Corvette Racing
