So that David Brabham and simon pagenaud crown the ALMS 2010 crown, they will “simply” have to cover 70% of the distance covered by the victorious car. A task that might seem easy, but which, with more than 40 cars on track on a very complicated circuit, is in reality not at all. At Highcroft, we don't worry about Peugeot et autres Audi, mais des concurrents engagés en LMP2. A l?issue des qualifications, Brabham a signé, au volant de l’HPD ARX-01c n°1, le troisième chrono de sa catégorie derrière la Lola Mazda du Dyson Racing et la Porsche RS Spyder de son rival pour le titre, l?Allemand Klaus Graf. Mais à quelques heures du départ, cela n?empêche pas Simon Pagenaud de se montrer confiant.

“We are confident, but still have 70% of the distance to cover, explains the Frenchman. I'm delighted with the car, and David and Marino (Franchitti, Editor's note) are also confident. We did a really good job, just focusing on our own race. It will be long, and a lot can happen. We are only a tenth behind the Porsche without having taken the slightest risk. Strategy and consistency will be two very important factors. Departure will be a critical moment. If you take things too lightly, you can find yourself in trouble. You have to be aggressive and smart at the same time. »
