Peugeot with new paint scheme remains quick at Sebring.
SEBRING, Fl — The diesel powered Peugeot 908 HDI FAP continues to set the quick time around the race course with both of the French cars turning the top times in the morning test session here at Sebring Raceway for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh From Florida. Sebastian Bourdais on the No. 08 car topped the list this morning with a 1:45.840 time around the vaunted 3.7 mile track. His partner in crime, Anthony Davidson, in the No. 8 Peugeot was just under two tenths of a second slower.
Emmanuele Pirro, the former Audi works driver, and a two-time Sebring winner (00 and 07), pushed the Drayson Racing Lola B09 60 Judd-powered car to within a six tenths of a second of the leader, an improvement from Wednesday when the privateer entry was almost two seconds behind the lead.
In the LMP2 class, the defending champion is definitely the class of the field, as Simon Pagenaud (#1-P2 HPD ARX-01c), turned a best lap of the morning session with a 1:47.308, more than second faster than Porsche
