SEBRING, Fla.—The 2012 ALMS Winter Test at Sebring International Raceway ended Thursday evening with several cars shattering 2011 Sebring 12-Hour pole times.
Thursday’s two sessions were the fastest for everybody at the American Le Mans Series Winter Test. Most cars ran their fastest times in the afternoon session—a few seemed to prefer the cooler temperatures of the morning.
Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing’s P1 HPD ARX-03a finally ran a few consecutive hours and set fastest time of the test, 1:48.192 at 123.114 mph. While not threatening the time of 1:46.571 set by Stépahne Sarrazin’s Peugeot 908 in 2011, this was a quick time for a gasoline-powered P1 running for its first fast laps after having been totally in pieces the day before.
