Rinaldo Capello (#77)
“We could not hope for a better result. I am a little bit surprised about the big gap
between us and the others. Of course this is very good for us. It was a nice fight
between Allan and Frank for pole position. Fortunately for me our car is in front. It
is the fifth pole position in a row for us which makes me very proud.”
Allan McNish (#77)
“I am very happy that we were able to retain pole position. Also it is very nice that
we achieved an Audi 1-2. It proved that the Audi is very quick in the wet and the
dry. Now we can work towards the race which is obviously quite difficult with the
possibility of changing conditions tomorrow.”
Frank Biela (#78)
“My lap was quite good, but Allan’s was even better. The car works very well. It is
a pitty that I could not take the pole position. However both R8s are on the front
row - and that is all that matters.”
Emanuele Pirro (#78)
“The weekend so far looks good. Our car proved to be very good. I feel really
confident for the race, because I think we have a very good setup.”
Reinhold Joest, Team Director Audi Sport North America
“Of course we are very happy being 1st and 2nd on the grid. The team, the
drivers and especially the engineers did a fantastic job. Both cars are very close
together. There are no problems at all, the setup of the cars is perfect. We are
prepared for the rain as well. I hope, we will be able to produce a good result,
because then we can go to Australia without any worries.”
