We have not yet seen the true pace of the ARX-03a. Muscle Milk did 1:48 during the ALMS winter test.
Remember that in 2011 Audi did 1:45s in testing. So the restrictions have slowed them down ... a bit. Remember this comment from Duncan Dayton last year.

I don’t think so, because if you look at the R18 times the following day, they were running mid 45’s and I’m sure they weren’t running flat out. So there’s something like 3 seconds advantage at Sebring, which would be six seconds advantage at Le Mans. Marino’s best time in the test was 47.5 and they were routinely 45.5 and we were just carrying on with a real good base set up, and I’m sure they were still improving the R18 at Sebring.
