Once again we saw the “power” of the BMW’s shine in today’s ALMS qualifying from Mosport. Flying Lizard’s Joerg Bergmeister headed out onto clean track and was picking off seconds left and right. However, his fastest was just shy of front row and top spot by 0.229 seconds.
“Again today, the set-up and balance of our car were top,” said Joerg Bergmeister. “Regardless of what our competitors do, we have to stick to our plan. We’re feeling confident that we can bring home a podium result from the race tomorrow.”

Mosport is a fast 2.459 mile lap and very hard to pass on. Tomorrow should be another epic GT battle.
