Pirro will not take sides with Audi

Emanuele Pirro, five-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Audi, although he has a lot of sympathy for the brand with the rings, he will not do any favors to his former teammates. During the 12 Hours of Sebring, at the start of the season, armed with his Lola Coupé Judd, the fast Italian driver managed to make life difficult for the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP, while no Audi R15 took part in this race. If he finds himself in a similar situation during the double round of the race at Le Mans, Emanuele Pirro affirms that he will not distinguish between an Audi R15 and a Peugeot 908.

« We will obviously not aim for victory, and I will be impartial if we have to look in the mirrors at the heart of the fight between the Audis and the Peugeots. If we do our best, while keeping our feet on the ground, we will achieve a good result. », Says Pirro on Le Mans.org.

« This winter I received an email from Lord Drayson offering me the opportunity to drive his Lola, Audi did not object to the opportunity offered to me to return to the track side on the circuits, continues the five-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. At Sebring I discovered the car, I wasn't expecting anything special in terms of results. I was able to have fun behind the wheel of this Lola coupe even if I admit to feeling more comfortable behind the wheel of an open prototype. I enjoy this experience and I savor day by day the chance offered to me to come back to drive at Le Mans in this English team. »
