No.2 アウディR15 TDI (C)ALMS 拡大します
3月16日、ALMS第1戦セブリングは、いよいよレースウイークが始まった。初日のテストでは、この日初めての公式テストとなったアウディR15 TDIが1-2番手のタイムを記録した。
アラン・マクニッシュ、トム・クリステンセン、ディンド・カペロ組のNo.2 アウディR15は、1:43.596でトップタイム。これは同じメンバーのR10が出した昨年のポールタイム 1:43.195から約0.4秒と迫るもので、アウディのニューマシンがライバル陣営に衝撃を与えた。2番手のNo.1アウディ、マルコ・ワーナー、ルーカス・ルール、マイク・ロッケンフェラーも、3番手のNo.8 プジョー908、セバスチャン・ボーデ、ステファン・サラゼン組に0.8秒以上の差を付けている。
アウディとプジョーは、先週末からセブリングでプライベートテストを行っていたが、LMP1アキュラの2台はこの日が初走行で、ド・フェラン・モータースポーツのNo.66が5番手、ハイクロフト・レーシングのNo.9が6番手と、トップのアウディからは1.5秒以上の差で初日のテストを終えた。
LMP2では、No.16のダイソン、ローラ・マツダが唯一走行して7番手。それにワークス・コルベットの2台が続いた。激戦のGT2クラスでは、FIA-GTのレギュラーチーム、Advanced Engineering Pecom Racing TeamのフェラーリF430GTがポルシェ911GT3 RSRを抑えて初日のクラストップとなった。こちらもデビューレースとなるレイハル・レターマンのBMW M3はクラス5番手と6番手タイムとなった。
