also just spotted another question that has been pinged in our direction regarding the porsche cup cars and whether they have the anti-lock braking system they do indeed and that's been the case all season i think that actually was brought into the regulations last year as well it's not always the case with the older porsche cup cars but to make it even for all the 992 class has it regardless of whether it's an am or a non-am car not officially called pros but they sort of are Maxi Martini went straight to the back of the garage to, I'm sure, discuss with his engineer what to do next and I'm not entirely sure whether he would have got answers to those questions but his engineer would have been desperate to know precisely how the car was behaving what signals that Max was getting that determined him needing to pit and are they attacking exactly the same problem on these two cars or something entirely different i'm not sure which would be the helpful option there because in terms of parts you probably don't want to be trying to source now here's max

yeah we have a technical issue with the front left I think it's wheel bearing, but yeah, I don't know, it just came suddenly, so a bit strange, but yeah, it's racing.

How did it manifest itself when you

were driving?

Yeah, I suddenly had the ABS alarm, ABS error, and then, yeah, the car was starting to pulling left and right, so yeah.

Yeah, I came in and then, yeah, it looks like it's wheel bearing, but I'm not 100% sure.

What is your main focus there? Because this Turn 1, it's not as easy as it looks.

No, it's not easy, especially after a very long straight.

With a start, with a lot of cars coming to T1, with a big braking.

So we will have to see.

But I mean, the good thing is that it's Mikko and I next to me.

We are usually teammates, so we know each other quite well.

So it should be okay for the long race.

It's almost like a family affair, but in two different cars, right? Isn't it actually something that you think about while you're driving, that you know exactly who is in the car next to you and you maybe know his tricks a little bit?

Vibrations are getting quite a bit worse.

Copy.

Six laps to go.

Shift to low.

Try to survive.

You can turn the high beams off for the traffic.

Max Martin, please give us an update to what's going on because it didn't sound good on the team radio, pal.

No, we had the day started really badly with a few contacts and a bit of problems so we were already quite lap downs and now apparently we have a rear left kind of suspension problem which we didn't have the whole test so it's a bit of a shame but...

Tell us, how difficult is it to, obviously the same car in the Mercedes GT3, but how difficult is it with the different rule sets, different tyres, to switch between these cars, or is it just you're immediately switched into that zone when you come to the new tyre for Le Mans?

Yeah, I mean, for sure it's a little bit different.

The good thing is that when you're driving more or less all the time the same car, it's for sure easier.

The tires, the regulations are a bit different, but lucky enough I have a lot of experience, so I'm used to changing a lot of series and changing cars and tires, but no, for

What's your programme for this session?

Yeah, I mean, we are really trying to have the best race car possible.

For sure, qualifying is always something, but at the end, we all know that it's a 24-hour race and the qualifying doesn't really matter.

So we are more focusing on race pace, on the tyre degradation, especially it might be quite hotter during the weekend.

Il nous parle du bonheur qui l'habite quand il est entouré de ses enfants et de sa chienne.

Mais la seconde que j'ai vu William puis Livia ensemble, immédiatement, la première fois qu'ils se sont vus, j'ai fait : il n'y en aura pas de problème.

C'était clair.

Puis je regarde notre dynamique de famille, tu sais.

Puis, tu sais, on a une tradition annuelle de faire des road trips de baseball.

Puis quand on est les trois dans le char avec le chien, évidemment, c'est, c'est la plus belle zone de bonheur que je peux imaginer.

C'est, c'est plus qu'un château fort.
