Duval hangs on to pole for Audi

Loic Duval hung on to pole position for the 81st running of the Le Mans 24 Hours, as Audi scored its first lockout of the top three grid spots since 2002 at the circuit. Frenchman Duval moved to the top of the timesheets early on during Wednesday night's first session, setting a 3m22.349s in the #2 R18 e-tron quattro he shares with Briton Allan McNish and Dane Tom Kristensen. A combination of bad weather and several red flag interruptions had effectively frozen the timesheets after the opening hour of Wednesday's first session, making late improvements seem unlikely.
