Audi is coming off its eighth consecutive win at Sebring courtesy of Marco Werner, Emanuele Pirro and Frank Biela. Werner and Pirro will continue together for the full season in Audi’s No. 2 entry with defending Series champions Allan McNish and Rinaldo Capello in the No. 1 R10 TDI. All four drivers have recorded at least one street circuit victory in the American Le Mans Series.
“We know that street courses are not optimally suited for our Audi R10 TDI, ” said Capello, who won with McNish last year at Houston in an Audi R8. “It was developed for long straights and quick corners like the track at Le Mans. For me, the lighter LMP2 cars are the favorites in St. Petersburg. But we want to win the championship. This means that we also have to be competitive on circuits that are less suitable for our car. “
The next round of the American Le Mans Series is the Acura Sports Car Challenge of St. Petersburg. The race will start at 5:05 p. m.
