Special Le Mans 24h 2004 - The first qualifying session

After four hours of qualifyings, Seikel Motorsport's cars were placed on the 7th and 8th places on the provisional GT class grid, for the Le Mans 24h race.

A problem with the gearbox locked the #83 car in the pits for almost half an hour at the very beggining of the session. After that incident, everything went without problem. The team chosed to use Yokohama medium tyre compound which proved to be very good and reliable.

The best times were set by Alex Caffi (for the #83) with 4:14.189 and by Tony Burgess (#84 Porsche) with 4:16.020.
