Audi and Nissan testing at Sebring
Since 2014, LMP1 prototypes have no longer been accepted at the 12 Hours of Sebring, but this does not prevent manufacturers from conducting some tests on the American circuit.
Two of the main constructors in LMP1, Audi and Nissan, have set up their base in Florida for several days of testing on the track. While the Nissan GT-R LM Nismo was already unveiled during the last Super Bowl, the Audi R18 e-tron quattro Spec-2014 will make its first public appearance in Sebring.
As a reminder, Nissan will make its return to Le Mans this year after sixteen years of absence with an innovative concept. Unlike its competitors, the Japanese manufacturer has decided to install its engine at the front of its prototype.
For its part, Audi will attempt to recover after a difficult 2014 season, during which Toyota managed to measure up to the German manufacturer to win its first title in the FIA WEC.
