Finnish driver Mika Salo completed his first test with the Audi R8 at Snetterton (England) on Monday. The former Formula One driver competes in the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Le Mans 24 Hour race for the Audi Sport UK team. “I hadn´t been to Snetterton for 13 years, it was cold and damp and I was driving a sports racing car for the first time – difficult conditions,” explained Salo. “But my first impressions of the Audi R8 are very favourable. The car seems easy to drive.”
