Nissan drivers Lucas Luhr and Michael Krumm won the qualifying race at the Paul Ricard on Saturday, in the GT1 World Championship.
The German duo moved to the front during the pitstop sequence. Luhr was trailing his teammate Peter Dumbreck until that decisive stop that reversed the positions.
Luhr's co-driver Krumm was later able to keep Dumbreck's co-driver Richard Westbrook behind to edge away and win the qualifying race ahead of tomorrow's last european round of 2011.
Dumbreck and Westbrook had to settled for a fourth place finish after Tomas Enge overtook the latest in the final lap of the race, giving momentum to the sister car of Stefan Mucke that took the last spot on the podium.
