Buddy then continued the balance of the afternoon putting in 36 more laps. However, at the end of the seesion Team USA had dropped to 16th. Afterwards Jonathan, who was on his way to Nurnburg, commented,
"I'm happy to be back in the car. "Eighth this morning is pretty good considering I was just getting used to a new track and the car again. I've never been here and when you've been out of the car for a few months, it still takes a little time to get used to it again."
"It was fun getting back in, and going to P2 in the afternoon was good. Wetested many items on the car in readiness for the season."
