Pirelli One-Two on Grid for 12-Hour Race

(Clacton, U.K./Tyres & Accessories) The new partnership between Aston Martin and Pirelli got off to the best possible start in qualifying for the 54th annual Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring, the opening round of the 2006 American Le Mans Series.

The two Astons scorched around the track to take first and second grid positions ahead of the two factory Corvettes. Pedro Lamy set a new GT1 class qualifying lap record of 1.55.286.

The two Pirelli-shod Panoz Esperantes, now prepared by the Canadian Multimatic team, gridded first and third in class. Here too, Pirelli gained a new class qualifying record with pole sitter David Brabham registering the fastest lap at 2.03.563 in the Panoz.
