- Almost 3,400 kilometres without any significant problems
- Good start of newcomers to Audi Sport Team Joest
- Over 20,000 spectators watched the tests
During the eight hours available, Audi Sport Team Joest fully concentrated on
reeling off the testing programme that had previously been defined in detail. As
usual with Audi Sport, the tasks were clearly divided: The Audi R10 TDI car number 2
(Dindo Capello/Allan McNish/Mike Rockenfeller) was fitted with additional data
acquisition equipment in the morning. In the afternoon, the team in car number 2 ran
tyre tests. Last year’s winners Frank Biela, Emanuele Pirro and Marco Werner (car
number 1) compared various suspension set-ups. The R10 TDI bearing number 3 in the
race (Mattias Ekström/Lucas Luhr/Alexandre Prémat) was equipped with various
aerodynamic variants.
