Smith hails ‘massive leap forward’

LE MANS 24 Hour winner Guy Smith believes Audi UK have made “a massive leap forward” in testing as they look to conquer the legendary French race.

The Yorkshireman, who won the race for Bentley last year, has joined the Team Veloqx-run Audi UK squad in an attempt to retain his title and testing over the last week at Road Atlanta has convinced him he made the right decision.

Smith managed three days of testing as Audi UK prepare their two-car team for the Sebring 12 Hours next month and the Beverley-born driver was pleased with the results.
