I think that has to do more with the course ran, which I believe is shorter by about a mile-

Actually I think qualifying is tomorrow.

Practice session bodes well though. However, if those times were when it was wet they could change if qualifying is dry.

At VIR, rain isn't so much a problem for the track. But if you go off-track and hit wet grass, you'll slide forever.

BTW, looking at those pics really makes me want a MazdaSpeed body kit... if is wasn't so much $$$!
