Ben Keating takes the top spot in LMGTA Am.
Brendon Hartley and Kamui Kobayashi claimed Toyota’s 20th ever FIA WEC front-row lockout Saturday to ensure they start 1-2 for Sunday’s 6 Hours of Portimao, the second round of the 2023 FIA WEC. The Kiwi driver scorched to a best lap of 1:30.171 in the No. 8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid to beat his stablemate and boss Kobayashi by 0.273 seconds.“That felt good," Hartley said."We put a bit more effort into qualifying this time and the car felt amazing over one lap. My lap was very clean and when I crossed the line, I knew it was good, which it had to be with Kamui so close behind. Our crew has done an amazing job so thanks to everyone. We made some good steps since first practice.
Kamui waited slightly later for his first flying lap and moved into second place. Unlike his teammate, he did not improve on his next lap and settled for completing a one-two on the grid for Sunday’s race. “We are a bit surprised by the gap to the other Hypercars because we expected qualifying to be much closer, based on the lap times in free practice," he said."We worked a bit harder on qualifying set-up this week compared to Sebring because we wanted to get pole position and we will enjoy this feeling, but now we come back to race mode. I think my lap was quite good.
