Audi indisputable double in the first round of the World Endurance, which took place on the occasion of the six hours of Silverstone. The vitcoria was for the trio Kristensen / Duval / Mcnish, who managed, hands-Allan, beat fellow number one car, reclaim them away after 30 seconds in the last 40 minutes of the race, beating a few minutes left test.

Lotterer Thus / Treluyer / Fassler kept the second position for the R18 e-tron number one. Toyota, who fielded two specifications TS030 2012, failed to live up to the Audi, who began with the renovation of 2013.

TS030 The two walked to the third and fourth place, but his pace was around a second a lap slower than the R18. Now when updating premiere to Le Mans 2013, things could change a lot, so do not give the race served.

Silverstone left us with the same questions as always, since Toyota does not yet released its 2013 car at Audi, which he did.

In LMP2 victory left is the Bass / Pizzonia / Walker with Team Oreca-Nissan Delta ADR, while Aston Martin took the win in both categories GT (the PRO with Turner / Mucke / Senna) thanks to its V8 Vantage GT2 , which is proving to be almost a second a lap ahead of their rivals.

Indeed, we saw the premiere of the new Porsche 911 RSR Type 991 GTE. Both cars finished the race, with a best result of fourth place. The truth is that we saw the team work properly, but need some more speed to keep up with Ferrari and Aston Martin in the face of Le Mans. But to be the release of a completely new car, working on a completely new structure in this championship (Manthey Racing, yes), we can give good result.
