Oddly, even though he wasn't pushing as hard, Minassian recieved warnings from the race director about course cutting and a ton of penalities for avoidable contact and course cutting through out the field--a fortaste of PLM on a faster, narrower track with less runoff room?
It seemed that Davidson minded his manners come raceday. Thankfully he learned from Le Mans, though with the #7 Audi retiring and the #8 spinning and not quite being on pace he didn't have to fight as hard. However, he'll have to keep today in mind for PLM unless he wants to run afoul of Barfield and Co and other drivers. Hopefully for Peugeot Montagny has finally learned his lesson about traffic after Spa--or else the much lesser expirence Davidson may have to become the teacher.
Hopefully the Audi differential deal was a fluke and that the R15 will improve at Road Atlanta--a track that Audi Sport knows intimately and will probably have their best line ups in both cars to date. Interesting how neither Audi nor Peugeot really went all out with their driver lineups except in the #7 Audi, and how Audi has targeted PLM and Peugeot has targeted China as the races they most want to win based on line ups.
