ALMS extra: Wallace’s Audi first impressions

"It's lovely, oh yes. I thought it might be a bit of a fight because Champion Racing haven't had the chance to test the car since it was delivered, but everything worked straight away. It's a really good car. The traction and grip are superb, though it's not easy to read under braking."



"It's really simple and I only made one mistake in that first session."



"Let's just say that it's a quantum leap forward."



"Now that I've driven the car I feel really confident. Dorsey Schroeder [Wallace's team mate] and I shouldn't be that far away. The Joest cars will be difficult to beat, but you never know. They've got a year's start on us, but if we get the car to the finish we should be near the front."



"It should be a good year for me. I'm going to be very busy, but I recognise that I'm very lucky to have all these drives. It's great to be back in the American Le Mans Series with Audi. Daytona wasn't to be, but I know every time I climb aboard the Dyson Riley & Scott that I'm getting into a winning car. And to drive a Bentley at Le Mans is going to be an amazing experience for an Englishman."
