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?

According to this schedule posted here, the last test and the last track time until Thursday for the WEC/ALMS cars will start in about 30 minutes.

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.

We are still flying blind
It looks like an Audi 1-2-3 at the moment. Quote:

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.

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.
