Stefan Johansson driving last years Audi R8 achieved the fastest lap time during the first practice session.

The Works Audis experienced some problems.

In the early laps Rinaldo Capello left the track, damaging the Audis front end. "The tries were still cold and had not developed sufficient grip and may be i was a little sleepy".

After a couple of laps a the left front tire left Emanuele Pirro  down. The Audi from last years Le Mans winner was later plagued by gearbox related problems. "We did not drive a lot, but in general the new car already feels very good".
