Le Mans, France — With rain falling most of the evening drenching Circuit de La Sarthe, Allan McNish and the Audi R-15 posted the top time during the morning test session. However, his lap times on a soggy track were around 30 seconds slower than the best qualifying times.

Indeed, there were a number of shunts and near misses during the morning session where drivers were getting acquainted with the newly washed track. No turn was safe from an off-asphalt excursion nor was any class.

Currently the Matmut Carrera Cup is on the track entertaining the fans who have arisen early enough to get their morning fix of racing.
