And it was fast, somewhere around seven seconds quicker than last years pole winner's speed in a Corvette DP. They brought in all nine drivers. Read about it here: Audi encouraged by Sebring test | WEC news | Motorsport.com
The DP Corvettes are at best comparable with the slowest P2 car. From what I remember, they had to slow the P2's down with a low grip aero package and restrictor to get the DP's up to speed. Don't count out the return of P1's to Sebring and the Tudor series.

Sorry for the off-topic post. Nice work on the composites on the Porsche prototype, Won.
