3:50 pm - Checkered flag. No. 45 is P4 and No. 44 is P 15. No. 46 did not qualify (still under repair due to an accident earlier today) and will start from the rear of the grid in tomorrow's race.

3:45 - Joerg radioed in that he is coming in- his final lap was not as fast as the one prior in which he hit the water so he's done. It looks like No. 62 will take the pole. 5 more minutes.

3:41 - The No. 62 Risi Ferrari with Jaime Melo at the wheel is now P1. No. 87 is P2, No. 71 P3 and No. 45 P4. Joerg radioed in that he hit some water on his first fast lap and it affected his lap. He said he will try one more lap.

3:39 - Joerg is out again in the No. 45. There are 10 minutes left in the session. No. 44, which was also in the pits for a setup change, is also heading out on track again.

3:37 - No. 62 moves to P2 with a 1:19.510. No. 87 still P1 with a 1:19.487. No. 71 Tafel Racing Ferrari is P3 with a 1:19.795. No. 45 now P4 with a 1:19.885. No. 44 is P 15.


3:36 - No. 87 is still P1, No. 71 is P2, No. 45 P3. Joerg is still in the pits, but will go out again in a minute.

3:33 - No. 87 Farnbacher Loles Porsche is now P1. Joerg is pitting for a setup change. He will go out again for another attempt at a fast lap.

3:31 pm - Joerg is P1, but the No. 62 has not yet gone out. The No. 99 JMB Ferrari, which showed some good times in the earlier practice sessions is P3. No. 28 is P2.

3:25 pm - Green flag on the qualifying session.

3:15 pm - Good afternoon from Road Atlanta. Only two of the three Lizard Porsches will qualify in this afternoon's qualifying session - the No. 44 and the No. 45. The No. 46 suffered extensive damage in this morning's practice session and will not be back on track in time for qualifying. The crew hopes to have repairs complete in time for race day warmup tomorrow.

Joerg Bergmeister will qualify in the No. 45. Seth Neiman will qualify in the No. 44.
