Grand Am

'Roar before Rolex 24' - endelige testtider

Grand Am 
10/01/12 

- kombineret fra alle sessioner
Chevrolet Corvette så absolut i front. Det var resultatet efter de officielle testdage på Daytona banen forud for det kommende 'Rolex 24 h'.
Det stiller så et stort spørgsmål - kan de holde i 24 timer?
I hvert fald var der kun godt et halvt sekund mellem de 5 biler efter testen.
 

Det blev den helt store generalprøve for Chevrolet ved den sidste officielle test inden 24 timers løbet i den sidste weekend i januar. Den nye Corvette DP model kørte de fem hurtigste tider under testforløbet.


Sun Trust Corvetten var den hurtigste al alle

Dog var Riley bilerne med flere forskellige motormærker ikke langt efter, så der bliver tæt konkurrence. Og så er det at man skal tænke på at selve løbet strækker sig over 24 timer og her vil det vise sig om Chevrolet har gjort deres hjemmearbejde godt nok.

Bilen med Jan Magnussen blev den langsomste af de 5 Corvetter. Ronnie Bremer, Robin Liddell og John Edwards sluttede på en placering som nummer 18 eller som nummer 5 i GT klassen, mens Allan Simonsen og kollegaerne i Farnbacher Porschen sluttede 2 placeringer efter.
