"The circuit is short, that’s why you need a really good car here. My new A4 was fast and perfect straight out of the box, all I had to do was adjust the seat belts. The mechanics have once again done a fantastic job. The fastest time is a reward for their work and even more motivating for the new season,” said Tom Kristensen. |
The ten Audi drivers reeled off more than 5,000 test kilometres in ice-cold conditions at Brands Hatch. The busiest was Mattias Ekström who completed 425 laps and set the week’s third fastest lap time. Newly signed Audi driver Heinz-Harald Frentzen was only 63 thousandths of a second slower.
