By placing fifth in qualifying, just behind the Peugeot and the official Audis, the Oreca team achieved one of its first objectives, starting in the top five on the starting grid for the 12 Hours of Sebring. Another challenge now awaits Nicolas lapierre, Loïc duval and Olivier Panis: complete a clock tour on the legendary American route. Hugues de Chaunac's troops can even dream of a final podium.

“The best time during testing really boosted us. That being said, throughout the week, we are in our position, confides Loïc Duval. We have achieved our first objective. We had little traffic: we managed it well and we could have gained a few tenths, but it wouldn't have changed much. Peugeot has a new car, Audi has enormous experience here. Our car is well balanced. His behavior has changed a lot since Tuesday. We reacted well and we are in the match. »
