Ok - here goes: The fastest Porsche is slower than the fastest car in every sector. Sector1 the fastest Porsche (which ever it is in that particular sector) is loosing 0.634 of a second . Interestingly enough the fastest Porsche in Sector 2 looses 0.776seconds to the fastest car in that sector. (more on this later) and finally the fastest Porsche in sector 3 looses 0.617to the fastest car in that sector.
Now - the same comparison done but with the #77 Porsche vs the Fastest Car in each sector provides us with a similar result. #77 looses 0.634in Sector 1, 0.776 in Sector 2 and 0.95 in Sector 3(wow!)
The interesting thing about sector 2 is that includes the zone from Tertre Rouge down to Mulsanne Corner (so it encompasses the long straight). now given that the #77 posts the highest top speed through the speed traps and yet manages to loose 0.776 of second in the whole sector indicates that there is not a good balance between high straight-linespeed and low speed corners. The Porsches are loosing time in T6, T7 , the Porsche curves ( a whole 0.8 seconds here) and 0.4 second in the Ford chicane.
I expect that they will work on the necessary setup changes today.
Just out of curiosity: the #51 458 (Bruni) was so fast through the Ford Chicane that it was the 8th quickest of all the cars, beating some of the Peugeot's through the chicane! Wow! I hope Porsche is taking note! They need to work very, very,very,very hard on their future 458 and MC12 beater.
