First blood to Audi!

ELMS - 05/05/2011

The kick-off of the Spa-Francorchamps 1000-km weekend was given at 12h20 today when the opening practice session got under way. Early on, Alexander Wurz and Sébastien Bourdais in their Peugeot 908s set the pace.

Then Dindo Capello in the no.3 Audi R18 TDI bagged the fastest time in 2m 03.844s before Benoït Tréluyer in the no. 2 Audi went off and the session was red-flagged. It restarted for 15 minutes but Capello's time remained unbeaten.

In LM P2, Jonny Kane in the Strakka Racing HPD ARX-01d set the pace in 2m 11.332s. The quickest of the Formula Le Mans cars was the one driven by Nicolas Marroc (Hope Racing FLM-Oreca 09), who got round in 2m 15.210s early on in the session.

The battle in GTE was much closer. In the LM GTE Pro category Gianmaria Bruni in the Ferrari F458 Italia entered by AF Corse set the reference time in 2m 20.911s. Ferrari also dominated in LM GTE Am as Klaas Hummel in the CRS Racing F430 GT topped the time sheets in 2m 23.612s.

The second session will run between 16h55 and 17h55.
