There was no surprise and German Marco Werner, in his 1982 Lotus 87, took pole for Race G, in the “Ayrton Senna” series reserved for F1 cars produced between 1981 and 1985, but without turbo engines, too powerful and too complicated to manage on a weekend of historic races. A triple winner of Le Mans 24 Hours, Werner finally beat Briton Michael Lyons by one second, in his 1983 Lotus 92. Third place on the grid goes to David Shaw, in his 1982 Arrows A4 carrying the colors of Ragno Italian ceramics. American driver Ken Tyrrell, a namesake of famous “Uncle Ken” in the 70s, will start in the Top 10, at the wheel of his… Tyrrell 011 victorious in Detroit in 1983, with Michele Alboreto at the wheel.
