"I'm feeling quite pleased. It's my first qualifying pole in this series and it shows that all of the hard work and testing is paying off," said driver Pedro Lamy. "We've had to adapt to new tires for this race and that's meant a lot of preparation, but I think we've found a good balance with the car now and it felt good on the track. Of course it's nice to be on pole but Sebring's a 12 hour race. It's very long and anything can happen. I hope we will have such a good car in the race."
