JML Team Panoz On The Pace In Opening Practice For Petit
JML Team Panoz signaled they are going to be a leading contender for this weekend's Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta by setting the third fastest time in opening practice today.
The No.10 car stopped the clocks at 1 minute, 13.137 seconds with Olivier Beretta behind the wheel - putting the Panoz third for the day and outpacing the championship leading Audi of Frank Biela and Marco Werner.
Beretta, David Saelens and Max Papis all had the chance to get behind the wheel of the LMP-01 in the opening session.
However, the No.11 car of Gunnar Jeannette, Benjamin Leuenberger and Scott Maxwell was not as fortunate.
Jeannette spun on cold tyres on his out-lap coming out of turn seven, damaging the bodywork and breaking a steering arm.
The car was returned to the JML Team Panoz workshop adjacent to Road Atlanta to undergo repairs in time for the opening practice session tomorrow at 9.20am.
Leuenberger and Maxwell did not get the chance to drive No.11 machine.
