Audi improved the performance of its R15 Plus in the second free practice session held at the Paul Ricard HTTT circuit in France in preparation for the opening round of the Le Mans Series.
The Audi R15 driven by Dino Capello and Alan McNish beat the private Peugeot 908 of team Oreca driven by Olivier Panis, Nicolas Lapierre and Stéphane Sarrazin. In the first practice session, the Oreca Peugeot beat the Audi. The factory Lola Aston Martin of Adrian Fernandez, Harold Primat and Stefan Mücke was third fastest, albeit two seconds off the pace of the Audi. The Mansell family Ginetta-Zytek was fourth, ahead of the first Rebellion Racing Lola of Neel Jani and Nicolas Prost, and the Signature customer Aston Martin of Franck Mailleux, Pierre Ragues and Vanina Ickx. Marc Lieb and Richard Lietz set the pace in GT2 in their Felbermayr Porsche 997 GT3 RSR, two tenths quicker than the first of the AF Corse Ferrari F430 GTs. Photos: Audi Motorsport
