Verstappen heads Porsche 1-2-3
ELMS - 26/04/2008
Jos Verstappen continued the form he showed at Barcelona when he set the "LM" P2 class pole at Monza in his van Merksteijn Porsche. Verstappen set a best time of 1m36.842s, more than a secnd faster than Jan Lammers in the Horag Racing Porsche. On a great day for the German manufacturer, Casper Elgaard was third fastest in the Team Essex Porsche RS Spyder as Andrea Belicchi struggled with a lack of straight line speed in his Speedy Racing Judd-powered Lola.

Verstappen's time was 2.5s faster than Angel Burgueno achieved here last year. "Our car likes the shorter tracks," said the former Grand Prix driver. "I can make time in braking so I worked on that this morning. I had a good lap, no mistakes."
Lammers made it a Dutch 1-2, but Elgaard was disappointed not to be able to challenge after having his best laps thwarted by yellow flags and traffic. "My last lap could have been faster, but I had to go to the pits because I was running out of fuel," said the Dane.
Belicchi reckoned that the Lola Coupe lacked straight line speed compared to his competitors in the class, but believed that a mid 1m38.5s lap would have been possible, cause for optimism for the race. Michael Vergers was fourth fastest in the Barazi Epsilon Zytek, ahead of Tommy Erdos in the RML.
