Guess they still don't have it all sorted as the Corvettes are still showing at GT3 instead of GT1. I like the new way IMSA is showing the class leaders highlighted - much easier to spot the classes! I was a bit surprised to see Duncan's team last in P1, but then this is just TESTING and perhaps they were working on specific set-ups and the like. I think it's imperative that Audi plays the mind games with Peugeot. However, VERY DISCOURAGING to see that there were only 22 cars showing times, and only ONE Dyson showing in P2. Audi really needs to make a surprise announcement and run the R15's at Barcelona and Spa prior to the 24h. The St. Pete ALMS race is going to look pretty sorry with less than 20 cars total on the grid.

When I last read www.motorsport.com, the talk from the Audi and Acura camps are putting a bit of concern over the Peugoets running well this year at Sebring as they have an older car with more experience. Don't get me wrong, I like to see that our Audi's are at the top of the time sheetsin practice, but they are still untried in a 12 hour test.
Go Audi.
Go Audi.
