Brian Vickers: "There is always traffic here, it's frustrating. Of all the experiences here at Le Mans, I'd say that in the sports car world, the biggest transition, particularly in the GT class is the traffic, managing that traffic. If I was in an LMP car it would be different, I'm used to looking out of the front windshield and here you're looking out of the rear. In the [NASCAR] Cup Series, if you check your mirror you don't have to look again for a while. Here they come up on you so quick, you're always looking and checking. In NASCAR, you don't have side mirrors and you mostly rely on your spotter - someone who tells you when someone is coming. Now I don't have a spotter any more, and for the first time since go karts when I was 13 years old. I'm re-learning how to manage traffic and racing people all on my own."

On the European style pitlane:

"It's the first time I ever walked across pit road during practice. It's a really weird feeling. I've never been allowed on pit road (in NASCAR) you can't just walk across like that, its a very different feeling. It really quite an event and there are a lot of things that are different, and sometimes it's not the things that people would expect.  There are a lot of similarities too, like the camaraderie between the crews and the teams and the drivers, and the competitiveness is the same... it's just racing. It may speak a different language like Italian or French but the basics are still the same of the car and the race and the track. It's little things that are different like cultural differences and the food, the fans and the pitlane."

And sharing the car with two other drivers?:

"That's a little different. In NASCAR we have team-mates. They don't drive our car but typically teams have two, three or four cars, so you're always communicating and sharing information with other drivers, but not in the same car."

On qualifying:

"I want to run the best reasonable time that I can. I'd love to get under four minutes. So far I've had individual competitive times in sector one, two and sector three, but not put them all together on the same lap. I had a couple of really good second sectors then an LMP pushes me out of the groove on sector three. It's figuring out how to manage traffic and go fast at the same time."

On coming back in an LMP car:

"I don't want to take away from what I'm doing here because I'm loving it and its great to have this experience first, but it would be fantastic."

On fitness and health [following health issues after an accident in NASCAR in 2011]:

"I'm 100%, I feel great. No clotting issues and I'm almost back to being in the best shape in my life. This year, because I've not been in the car so much and I've been travelling more, I'm not quite as good as I've been, but I'm pretty close to it."
