Franck Montagny (Peugeot 908 #8, 2nd): "It was very difficult to go from the back of the grid on the front of the race, I was not able to save the tyres. "

Stéphane Sarrazin (Peugeot 908 #8, 2nd): "The car was really fast, with excellent balance. Now we have a few weeks to improve the car even more before the 24 Hours of Le Mans. "

Dindo Capello (Audi R18 TDI #3, 3rd): "The car ran out of downforce on the front, which prevented the suspension to function normally. "

Tom Kristensen (Audi R18 TDI #3, 3rd): "At the end of the race, I had a slow puncture and a slight contact. I was told that the left rear tyre pressure was low. But the car was actually in the rhythm. "
