Press Release
Spa-Francorchamps - 5 May 2012
Big Belgian Crowd witness Victory for new Audi R18 Ultra
A large crowd of 31,000 braved the typically changeable Spa weather to see the WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and were treated to a great race and the first race and first victory for the new Audi R18 Ultra, a worthy successor to its distant ancestor the R8. Romain Dumas, who won the 24 Hours of Spa in 2003 and 2010, Loic Duval, who won the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2011 and Marc Gené, who won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2009, led much of the race to clinch a victory for the first time together as a driver crew.
The last hour was relatively calm, drivers were careful to stay on the track and pass the chequered flag, but that did not prevent Marcel Fässler from setting the fastest lap with the Audi #1 twenty minutes before the end of the race, a few minutes after an unexpected pitstop due to a puncture. The Audi #2 was served with a stop and go for non-compliance with the refueling procedure and finished the race behind the #4 Auto Sport North America R18 ultra. Behind the Audi #3, #1, #4 and #2, the two Lola-Toyotas of Rebellion Racing finished one behind the other in fifth and sixth places.
No change at the top of the LMP2, LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am: the final ranking reflected the standings after five hours of racing. The Zytek-Nissan #38 of Jota in LMP2, which finished just 6 seconds ahead of the nr25 ADR-Delta Oreca Nissan after a late stop go penalty for exceeding the pitlane limit. The Porsche #77 of Felbermayr-Proton in LMGTE Pro clinched victory by just 0.6 seconds over the #51 AF Corse Ferrari at the chequered flag. The Porsche #67 of IMSA Performance Matmut Porsche claimed a double GTE win for the German manufacturer, finishing where they started 6 hours earlier at the front of the LMGTE Am field.
“This weekend has been a big success and the FIA World Endurance Championship provided visitors to Spa with some fantastic racing,” said Gerard Neveu, the CEO of the FIA WEC. “Spectators were also entertained by a variety of other activities around the circuit that provided everyone with a value for money day out for the whole family. I’d like to thank everyone involved, the drivers, the teams, the sponsors and partners.”
Round 3 of the FIA World Endurance Championship will take place at the world famous 24 Heures Du Mans on the 16/17 June.

Porsche success after cliff-hanger finale in the Ardennes

Stuttgart. A successful dress rehearsal for the 24 Hours of Le Mans: In a nerve-racking cliff-hanger finale, Porsche works drivers Marc Lieb (Germany) and Richard Lietz (Austria) of the Felbermayr-Proton squad won the GTE Pro class at the six hour race in Spa-Francorchamps. For the new Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, it was the first win in the World Endurance Championship. Victory in the GTE Am category also went to a Porsche team: Driving for IMSA Performance Matmut, Frenchmen Nicolas Armindo, Raymond Narac and Anthony Pons crossed the finish line as class winners after 139 laps on the demanding tradition-steeped circuit in Belgium.
Spectators in the Ardennes were treated to a heart-stopping finale. The last laps at the European premiere of the new World Endurance Championship, in which Richard Lietz pulled out all stops to defend his narrow lead over a Ferrari, were full of drama and excitement. With an amazing performance, the Porsche works driver held off his pursuers to finally sweep over the finish line first in class with a mere six-tenths of a second advantage. For the Austrian and his works driver colleague Marc Lieb, who started the race on a wet track and snatched the lead after the first hour, this marked their first victory in the new long distance championship after claiming second at the season-opener in Sebring.
“The last laps were a real test. There was a lot of traffic on the circuit and my tyres had already done two stints. When you’re really pushing you can’t be mindful of the tyres as well. At the end I was counting every lap,” said Richard Lietz. “We could of course have done without the two caution phases, they cost us a lot of time. Without them we would have reached the flag with a little more breathing space. We haven’t won in quite a while so it was high time. This victory is important for Porsche, for us and of course for our team. Our squad did a perfect job today.”
It was also a victory for the strategists. Although the track was partly very wet after heavy rainfall, the team sent Marc Lieb out on the drying circuit with hard rain tyres. This decision turned up trumps. “Obviously there is always an inherent risk, but this time it worked perfectly,” said Marc Lieb. “The fact that we changed to slicks very early on before all the others also tipped the scales in our favour. This won us a great deal of time over our opponents and allowed us to build up a comfortable lead in the first two hours of racing that eventually yielded us victory.”

A Porsche team celebrated a double victory in the GTE Am class. Frenchmen Nicolas Armindo, Raymond Narac and Anthony Pons driving for IMSA Performance Matmut secured victory. The team, who are concentrating on the European Le Mans Series this season, took up the race as guest starters and are therefore not eligible to earn points. At the wheel of the second Porsche 911 GT3 RSR fielded by Felbermayr-Proton, team owner Christian Ried (Germany) and his Italian teammates Gianluca Roda and Paolo Ruberti, the winners of the season-opener, clinched second place. For this, they collected full points and further extended their lead in the Team Trophy.
“That was a fantastic race and an excellent preparation for Le Mans,” said Christian Ried. The Porsche Cup winner Gianluca Roda added, “The season has started brilliantly for us. Now comes Le Mans, the most important race of the year. We’ll be concentrating totally on this now.”
The Le Mans 24 Hours takes place on 16/17 June as the third round of the World Endurance Championship.

Toyota estuvo probando el TS030 HYBRID esta semana en Aragon durante 3 días con sus pilotos Alexander Wurz, Nicolas Lapierre, Kazuki Nakajima, Sebastien Buemi y el nuevo integrante del equipo Anthony Davidson. Este jueves finalizaron con una simulación tipo endurance.
"The test gave Toyota a chance to further evaluate its latest specification aerodynamic package, while it also focused on tyre testing and practicing pitstops in race conditions."
