Michael Galati :

“Hopefully the disappointing start to my title defense will change at Lime Rock.  Being a two-race meet, these races are very important for me personally as a driver but also Audi in terms of Manufacturer points.  We’ll leave the track on Monday night with four races completed in the series so we must have some points in the bag.  It will be vitally important to stay out of trouble on Saturday so that the car is undamaged for Monday’s race.”

Randy Pobst:

“Consistency is real important – can’t afford any mistakes.  Lime Rock has suited the Audis historically and when I raced against Michael there last year, his Audi was stunning through the downhill corner leading on to the straightaway – a section which tends to be bumpy.  Hopefully I’ll be able to use the all-wheel-drive to my benefit this year.  I’m obviously delighted with how things have turned for me in the opening two races.
