2011 1000 km of Spa

thumb|right|250px|The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps The 2011 1000 km of Spa-Francorchamps was held at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on May 7, 2011. It was the second round of the 2011 Le Mans Series season and the 2011 Intercontinental Le Mans Cup. Prior to the race weekend there were up to 60 provisional entries but was shortened to 54 as there were some withdrawals from Aston Martin Racing who withdrew to continue developing their new and struggling AMR-One. http://www.lemans.org/en/races/intercontinental-le-mans-cup/update/Aston-Martin-Racing-to-sit-out-Spa−Francorchamps_3518.html Aston Martin Racing to sit out Spa-Francorchamps Automobile Club de l'Ouest 2011-04-28 2011-05-06 It was a similar situation for Hope Racing who were not quite ready to race the new KERS-driven Oreca 01 Hybrid. http://www.lemans.org/en/races/intercontinental-le-mans-cup/update/Oreca-Hybrid-to-be-absent-from-Spa_3550.html Oreca Hybrid to be absent from Spa Automobile Club de l'Ouest 2011-05-03 2011-05-06 https://web.archive.org/web/20120315134813/http://www.lemans.org/en/races/intercontinental-le-mans-cup/update/Oreca-Hybrid-to-be-absent-from-Spa_3550.html# 2012-03-15 dead Other cars had to withdraw from damage prior to the weekend including the No. 24 OAK Racing Pescarolo 01 LMP1 car. http://www.lemans.org/en/races/intercontinental-le-mans-cup/update/-OAK-Racing-LM-P1-24-to-miss-Spa-_3533.html OAK Racing LM P1 #24 to miss Spa Automobile Club de l'Ouest 2011-05-01 2011-05-06 https://web.archive.org/web/20120315134830/http://www.lemans.org/en/races/intercontinental-le-mans-cup/update/-OAK-Racing-LM-P1-24-to-miss-Spa-_3533.html# 2012-03-15 dead In the second free practice session of the race, the No. 13 Rebellion Racing Lola-Toyota driven by Jean-Christophe Boullion crashed heavily at Radillon corner. Then shortly after the green flag was waved to restart, the No. 8 Peugeot of Pedro Lamy and No. 36 RML Honda of Mike Newton collided with each other. Both Peugeot and Rebellion mechanics had to deal with a late night with the RML car too heavily damaged to take further part in the race weekend. http://www.planetlemans.com/2011/05/05/1000-km-of-spa-crashes-halt-second-practice/ 1000 KM of Spa: Crashes halt second practice planetlemans.com 2011-05-05 2011-05-06 Qualifying The qualifying session was stopped early when another heavy impact during the weekend halted proceedings. It was the remaining LMP1 car of OAK Racing that fell victim to the famous Spa-Francorchamps track. Matthieu Lahaye crashed heavily into a barrier resulting in much débris being put on the track. The session was red flagged and not restarted. This was bad news for Peugeot who decided to release their cars later on in the session but the red flags meant the two car only set one flying laps each. This resulted in the two cars No. 7 and 9 starting in 13th and 18th overall respectively, with the No. 8 Peugeot starting at the back of the grid for not participating in the qualifying session as it was still being repaired from the practice crash. The No. 1 Audi driven by Timo Bernhard took pole position with No. 2 and 3 qualifying second and third respectively. Strakka Racing took LMP2 pole only marginally ahead of TDS Racing. In the FLM class, Phil Keen of Neil Garner Motorsport took pole for their car. The No. 71 AF Corse Ferrari starts first in the GTE Pro class while the No. 67 IMSA Matmut Porsche took pole in GTE Am. http://www.planetlemans.com/2011/05/06/1000-km-of-spa-audi-on-pole-peugeot-gambles-wrong/ 1000 KM of Spa: Audi on pole, Peugeot gambles wrong planetlemans.com 2011-05-06 2011-05-06 Qualifying result Pole position winners in each class are marked in bold. http://www.lemans-series.com/en/s52_circuits/s52p07_download_doc.php?doc=LMS_2011-1000_km_of_Spa-Qualifying_Practice_Classification_.PDF&id_circuit=4 PDF LMS Spa Provisional Grid Automobile Club de l'Ouest 2011-05-06 2011-05-06 September 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes Pos Class Team Driver Lap Time Grid 1 LMP1 #1 Audi Sport Team Joest Timo Bernhard 2:01.502 1 2 LMP1 #2 Audi Sport Team Joest André Lotterer 2:01.788 2 3 LMP1 #3 Audi Sport North America Tom Kristensen 2:02.145 3 4 LMP1 #10 Team Oreca-Matmut Nicolas Lapierre 2:05.482 4 5 LMP1 #12 Rebellion Racing Nicolas Prost 2:06.767 5 6 LMP1 #20 Quifel ASM Team Olivier Pla 2:07.290 6 7 LMP1 #16 Pescarolo Team Christophe Tinseau 2:07.528 7 8 LMP1 #15 OAK Racing Matthieu Lahaye 2:07.729 8 9 LMP1 #23 MIK Corse Giacomo Piccini 2:08.821 9 10 LMP2 #42 Strakka Racing Danny Watts 2:10.016 10 11 LMP2 #46 TDS Racing Mathias Beche 2:10.141 11 12 LMP2 #26 Signatech Nissan Franck Mailleux 2:10.474 12 13 LMP1 #7 Peugeot Sport Total Marc Gené 2:10.725 13 14 LMP2 #45 Boutsen Energy Racing Nicolas de Crem 2:11.183 14 15 LMP2 #41 Greaves Motorsport Tom Kimber-Smith 2:11.218 15 16 LMP2 #40 Race Performance Ralph Meichtry 2:11.306 16 17 LMP2 #44 Extrême Limite AM Paris Fabien Rosier 2:11.842 17 18 LMP1 #9 Peugeot Sport Total Simon Pagenaud 2:12.108 18 19 LMP2 #35 OAK Racing Andrea Barlesi 2:12.373 19 20 LMP2 #39 Pecom Racing Pierre Kaffer 2:13.584 20 21 FLM #92 Neil Garner Motorsport Phil Keen 2:13.592 21 22 LMP2 #33 Level 5 Motorsports Christophe Bouchut 2:13.851 22 23 LMP2 #43 RLR msport Rob Garofall 2:14.122 23 24 FLM #91 Hope Racing Nicolas Marroc 2:14.431 24 25 FLM #99 JMB Racing Olivier Lombard 2:17.120 25 26 FLM #93 Genoa Racing Elton Julian 2:18.219 26 27 FLM #95 Pegasus Racing Julien Schell 2:18.757 27 28 GTE-Pro #71 AF Corse Jaime Melo 2:20.743 28 29 GTE-Pro #66 JMW Motorsport Rob Bell 2:20.915 29 30 GTE-Pro #51 AF Corse Giancarlo Fisichella 2:21.086 30 31 GTE-Pro #77 Team Felbermayr-Proton Marc Lieb 2:21.291 31 32 GTE-Pro #55 BMW Motorsport Augusto Farfus 2:21.460 32 33 GTE-Pro #89 Hankook Team Farnbacher Dominik Farnbacher 2:21.779 33 34 GTE-Pro #56 BMW Motorsport Andy Priaulx 2:22.219 34 35 GTE-Pro #76 IMSA Performance Matmut Wolf Henzler 2:22.955 35 36 GTE-Am #67 IMSA Performance Matmut Nicolas Armindo 2:23.007 36 37 GTE-Pro #58 Luxury Racing Anthony Beltoise 2:23.063 37 38 GTE-Am #61 AF Corse Marco Cioci 2:23.269 38 39 GTE-Am #82 CRS Racing Phil Quaife 2:23.485 39 40 GTE-Pro #75 Prospeed Competition Marc Goossens 2:23.639 40 41 GTE-Am #60 Gulf AMR Middle East Fabien Giroix 2:23.727 41 42 GTE-Am #70 Kessel Racing Philipp Peter 2:24.050 42 43 GTE-Am #88 Team Felbermayr-Proton Horst Felbermayr, Jr. 2:24.599 43 44 GTE-Am #50 Larbre Compétition Gabriele Gardel 2:24.773 44 45 GTE-Pro #65 Lotus Jetalliance James Rossiter 2:25.124 45 46 GTE-Am #62 CRS Racing Pierre Ehret 2:25.617 46 47 GTE-Am #63 Proton Competition Christian Ried 2:26.797 47 48 GTE-Pro #59 Luxury Racing Frédéric Makowiecki 2:27.098 48 49 GTE-Am #57 Krohn Racing Tracy Krohn 2:28.677 49 50 LMP1 #8 Peugeot Sport Total No Time 50 51 LMP1 #13 Rebellion Racing No Time 51 52 GTE-Pro #64 Lotus Jetalliance No Time 52 53 GTE-Am #72 AF Corse No Time 53 54 GTE-Pro #79 JOTA No Time 54 Race result Class winners in bold.
