All the cars--new or grandfathered, ran 20-22 lap stints depending on stategy and pace.

Of course, the newer cars (R18, 908) should get better mileage because of the smaller engines and being built around the rules rather than simply adapted.

And on Wind Tunnel last night, Wolfgang Ullrich was a guest on that show, and said that the R18 since Dec. has run well over 7000kms in testing and that they plan to test all week in Sebring (which was expected), and that he hopes that Audi can return to the ALMS as soon as 2012, presumably with R18s.

And on Speed Center, Calvin Fish reported that all last week a second team of drivers and mechanics have been testing at least one R18 at Miami-Homestead Speedway's oval and road course, and that the car and team would join the main Joest team by Saturday night following the 12 hours for a week of testing at Sebring starting today.
