the Fever begins
Lotus in hearing for last hour
only 4 turbocharged cars on the grid: 3 Audi, 1 LMP2 HPD (no.33)
Audi definitely run a blown diffuser... higher fuel consumption? Will Toyota get 2 more laps per tank? If Audi can run .75 second quicker, they can cover it (Trussers)

amprovisation
there can't be many words that the Le Mans 24 Hours has given the English language, except perhaps vainquer, and this certainly won't be joining them anytime soon:
amprovis-ing, -ation, -er, -eur, (n.) (pr. say 'improvising' w. pretend Fr. acc.) in the early stages of the race, the phenomenon of the PRO driver in an AM car running with the GTE-Pro pack; see also Campbell-Walter, Collard, Griffin, Hall, Vernay

for sure, for sure
I'm struggling to find an appropriate title for this post...
once upon a time, 'for sure' was introduced as a way of saying 'yes', 'certainly', for racing drivers. I remember Alain Prost was particularly fluent. It is now common parlance with native English speaking racers, and can even replace a casual 'yeah'.
Martin Brundle famously contributed 'nodoubtaboutit' which if used as the trigger in a drinking game can be more dangerous than Mad Men.
I can understand 'Free Practice' becoming 'FP' but 'qually'... No.
However, this has now been topped by 'gapping'. Ugh.
