Sebring, 3° giorno: Wallace il più veloce con la Porsche Dyson

E' la Porsche RS Spyder del team Dyson condotta da Andy Wallace ad avere colto il miglior tempo dei tre giorni di test che l'American Le Mans Series ha svolto sul circuito di Sebring. Il veterano inglese ha girato in 1'46"983 risultando più veloce di Luis Diaz con la Lola B05/40-Acura del team Fernandez, 1'47"006. Un bel passo in avanti, rispetto ai giorni precedenti, quello del motore Honda. Diaz ha preceduto Emmanuel Collard con la Porsche RS Spyder del team Penske in 1'47"166. Nel Gruppo GT2 è emersa la Porsche 997 del team Tafel grazie a Wolf Henzler che ha girato in 2'01"678. Parecchio lavoro per Jaime Melo e Johnny Mowlem con la Ferrari 430 della Risi Competizioni.

Andy Wallace really likes the Porsche RS Spyder. After Wednesday's third and final session of the third annual American Le Mans Series Winter Test at Sebring International Raceway, who could blame him? The Englishman's time of 1:46.983 in Dyson Racing's new prototype was the fastest of the day and the best of the week. Wallace was just good enough to beat out Luis Diaz of Lowe's Fernandez Racing and its Acura-powered Lola B05/40. The first-year American Le Mans Series competitor also set his best time in the day's final session at 1:47.006, just 0.23 seconds behind the veteran Wallace.
Wallace and Diaz knocked Penske's Emmanuel Collard into the third overall position for the three days. The Frenchman's best lap of 1:47.166 around the 3.7-mile, 17-turn circuit came Wednesday morning in one of Penske's Porsche RS Spyders. Two other Acura-powered entries, the Courage LC75s from Andretti Green Racing and Highcroft Racing, were within 1.4 seconds of Wallace and the Dyson Racing Porsche. Tafel Racing's new Porsche 911 GT3 RSR-Type 997 set the pace for the GT2 class at Sebring. Tafel Racing was the quickest GT2 car for the week in its first test with its two new Porsche 997 RSR racers. German Wolf Henzler turned in the best lap of 2:01.678 in Wednesday's early afternoon session to edge out the Ferrari 430 GT Berlinetta from defending class champion Risi Competizione. Jaime Melo and Johnny Mowlem shared the driving duties with Melo getting most of the work.
