Chris Reinke, Head of LMP at Audi Sport, was already focused on the race as well: “There were no surprises today. Our drivers didn’t have the chance of taking better positions in qualifying. Now it’s about the race. We can use eight sets of tires for the aggressive tarmac on the Shanghai circuit for qualifying and the race. Tomorrow it will all be about using the tires perfectly. We’re expecting six demanding hours of racing.”
Eurosport will again broadcast the entire FIA WEC race live in Germany. TV viewers can watch it on November 1 from 4.00 to 10.15, CET.
