Emanuele Pirro Fastest Audi Driver

Emanuele Pirro has captured the LM P1 pole position at Laguna Seca (U.S. state of California) in his last race with the Audi R10 TDI. On Friday, the Italian won the qualifying battle against his team-mate Lucas Luhr.

Team Audi Sport North America’s two Audi R10 TDI prototypes will line-up on the fifth row of the starting grid for the finale of the American Le Mans Series. In unexpected hot conditions, the LM P1 cars had no chance to match the qualifying pace of the lighter LM P2 prototypes. With gaps of 1.1 and 1.7 seconds respectively, Pirro and Luhr qualified ninth and tenth.

Porsche is in Prototypes also. Every one else is welcome to run in prototypes, but they know what they have to compete against.

Too bad amazingidiot BMW hasn't won anything lately? By the way, Audi won overall. Whatthe you another twit. If BMW is so great, why don't they challenge Audi at Le Mans or Audi and MB in DTM. <chirp> <chirp>

BTW, great win for Audi after starting pretty far back in the grid. Perfect way to "retire" the R10.
