Pile Porsche in ALMS, Romain Dumas was an opponent of Audi on the American continent. It is now in the ranks of the German firm that he will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. " It's a bit of a strange feeling to race with Audi after having had them as opponents, declares the Cévenol. But Timo and I were received superbly. Their openness surprised me. But I understand why they have been winning for years »
As for Timo Bernhard, he knows he is expected. The German takes the wheel of the team supported by his compatriots. But getting to grips with the R15 on Wednesday evening was somewhat complicated. “ With the rain, these were not the best conditions for a baptism of fire. But ultimately, it was a good thing because we will be able to find these conditions again on the track »
Very efficient with Porsche, Dumas and Bernhard share the seat of the No. 3 Audi with Alexandre Prémat. The latter also thinks that the R15 is the ideal car ideally designed to win at Le Mans. “ The car is ultra efficient. It responds very well to acceleration, the grip is good, it behaves very well in fast corners. And it brakes very well. » The trio will then have to show that they are as fast as the experienced crew of the R15 n°1.
