Dyson top in afternoon practice

THURSDAY 17TH MARCH 2005

Dyson Racing set the standard in afternoon practice Wednesday for this weekend's Sebring 12 hours, posting a run of 120.817 mph and a lap time of 1m 50.249s, eclipsing the #1 and #2 ADT Champion Audi R8s.

Earlier in the day during the morning practice session, both Audis fared better than the Dyson team piloted by Chris Dyson and Guy Smith, who drove the fastest lap in the afternoon.

The fastest LMP2 time in the afternoon was a 1m 51.752s lap posted by Jon Field, Duncan Dayton and Gregor Fisken in Telesis Intersport Racing's Lola B05/40.

The fastest GT1 in the afternoon meanwhile was the #4 Corvette Racing C6-R of Oliver Gavin, Olivier Beretta and Jan Magnussen with a time of 1m 57.347s, surpassing the morning run of the #3 Corvette C6-R at 1m 57.686s.

In the GT2 class, the morning run of Patrick Long, Jorg Bergmeister and Lucas Luhr guided the #31 Petersen/White Lightning Porsche 911 GT3 RSR to a round of 2m 04.960s, faster than the quickest GT2 afternoon lap set by the #23 Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RSR with Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas, and Sascha Maassen at 2m 05.078s.

There were only two incidents at the track on Wednesday. In the morning practice session, Tom Weickardt damaged the left front end of the #71 Dodge Viper. In the afternoon session, Ian Mitchell spun out in a braking incident in the #27 Kruse Motorsport Courage
