Despite the ARX's reliability last year, the fact remains that this is a new car to that team despite their testing, so that will be an unknown, whereas the Audis' reliability is a relatively known quantity. That said, whether they maintain an eye-watering pace or not, there are still plenty of chances for them to keep on the lead lap due to the nature of racing at Sebring!

Strakka thinks a podium is possible. So who knows how fast M-Milk can get. BTW is there another test session?

Jonny Kane is a bit more realistic than Nick Leventis: "It would be amazing to finish on the podium in the first race, and throughout the season that’s certainly going to be our goal. I don’t know if that’s maybe too much to ask from the first race but we’ll see, it’s a long tough race so anything can happen."

The live timing is still broken for me, but apparently Audi is back in the 1:48s.

It looks like an Audi 1-2-3 at the moment.

JRM have been doing installation laps according to Dagys which is good to hear. Hopefully it's been snapped out on track.

Starworks is getting up to speed with their ARX-03b. Right in between the two Level 5 cars. Not bad for their first running.

If one Audi drops out due to mechanical or contact-based problems then all they have to do is be the fastest petrol car. The idea of an Audi problem is not impossible.

Well the Dyson Lola is still ~2 seconds slower than the slowest Audi, hooray for equivalency!

The new Lola LMP1 coupe not only looks. Dyson was the fastest petrol car in that last testing session. A nice surprise. Lets hope that the new AER engine is finally reliable.

Don't think that's half bad to be honest given it's a brand new car. Plus the driver line-up is very solid but none of the trio would get into an Audi on merit. More time to be gained for them, but probably also the Audis.

2 seconds off is not bad for a brand new car and PRIVATEER entry. Sure equivalency could give privateers a better shot but if a privateer and AER engine is only 2 seconds off so far, then I imagine a factory petrol team will be much closer to the Audi's.
