Frédéric Vervisch (2^nd):“It is not only my first time on the Audi, but also the first time I drive a front-wheel drive car! So, second fastest is not too bad, although we know it doesn’t mean much. I have to discover a lot of things this weekend, including standing start, but it’s nice to be already on a good rhythm, although the track is still very green. I’m on a step-by-step approach…”

Rob Huff (3^rd): “I am just feeling the car and still learning.
