Audi dominate Le Mans test day

 The only official seminar of test teams can play in the La Sarthe circuit before the 24 hours of Le Manswas held on the Sunday. It was also the first time that Audi, the R18, and Peugeot, with the 908, measured their new weapons, also at the scene of the Battle Royal in June. After the seen on Sunday, Audi is a small step, small, ahead of Peugeot, even if we look at in terms of speed, its Achilles heel in the past few years.
That Yes, I can say is that new models are almost as fast as its predecessors down the barrier of 3: 30. But we also need to speak of equality as the three Audi and one of the Peugeot made in the same second, 3: 27 with the R18 of Rinaldo Capello, Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish in the first place. The old rockers never die.
Behind the all-powerful Audi and Peugeot, including the semi-oficial of Oreca, who sneaks in front one of the officers of Peugeot Sport, the Pescarolo-Judd of Collard-Tinseau-Jousse though already at almost 10 seconds for the fastest time of the day. The other alternative in the form of vehicle from gasoline, the B10/60-Toyota Lola of Rebellion Racing in Le Mans presented new aerodynamic development.

Special mention needs to the Aston Martin AMR-One. Between the two units that were present in La Sarthe, completed no more than 5 laps. Much, much work which they have ahead of David Richards boys if they do not want to ridicule. Maxi Cortes, with Zytek 09 H Hybrid of Mik Corse also suffered many technical problems and could shoot little making impossible that his three novice pilots give the 10 laps which calls the OCP as a minimum in order to participate in Le Mans. Maxi Cortes has already announced on her facebook that will not be at the gala event.
In LMP2, the Oreca 03-Nissan has been as the fastest. The Signatech Nissan of Mailleux-Ordonez-Ayari beat her sister of Team Oreca Matmut piloted by Premat-Hallyday-Kraihamer in 62 milliseconds. The Zytek-Nissan of Greaves Motorpsort completed the "podium" which was added less to the HPD ARX-flat of RML.
In TG Pro, domain of the Ferrari 458 Italy GTC of Hankook Farnbacher and Risi Competizione ahead of the BMW M3 of Augusto Farfus, Jorg Muller and Dirk Werner.
