Enkele (officieuze) tijden uit een persbericht van Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx.
Quote:
Jamie Davies had the honour of clocking the fastest time for the Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx squad after four days of testing (FRI/SAT/MON/TUES) prior to the "official" start of the 52nd Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring tomorrow (WED). Davies stopped the clock at 1min 47.18secs on new tyres during Saturday afternoon - 1.64secs under Frank Biela's pole time from last year - which compares well to Tom Kristensen's lap record around the 3.7-mile track of 1:48.418secs from 2002.
Allan McNish, sharing his car with Pierre Kaffer, set a fastest 1min 47.35secs in the second Audi R8 - but on "old" rubber. Davies and Guy Smith shared the driving duties of #88 on Friday and Saturday - until the arrival of Johnny Herbert yesterday (MON) afternoon. Friday, Saturday and Monday trials were conducted in beautiful sunny, hot and dry weather conditions although today's (TUES) final session started off with a very wet track - after heavy and prolonged rain.
Meanwhile, Biela, who completes the #28 driver line-up, arrives at Sebring tomorrow (WED) due to his DTM commitments for Audi.

1 JJ Lehto (Champion Audi R8), 1:48.374
