Surprised us? How? If I remember correctly, the AMR-Ones were hanging with the tail end of the LMP2 pack in practice and qualifying. It's also worth noting that the drivers reported that it drove well while competing with the dregs of the LMP2 class. A car handling well does not mean it is a fast car. In fact, it could be argued that teams like Audi hire the best drivers so that they can drive a fast car that is a bit on the edge so they can maximize performance.
