. Cadillac CGRTeams 01 leads Acuras after Hour 3 of Rolex24 at Daytona while CorvetteRacing leads GTD Pro
With the first pitstops out of the way, Tom Blomqvist’s Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 led the similar car of Wayne Taylor Racing, driven by Ricky Taylor, by 10sec. Taylor had a similar margin over the quintet of #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac , #6 Porsche Penske Motorsports 963 , #01 CGR Caddy , #7 PPM 963 , #31 Action Express Racing Cadillac covered by six seconds. A further 40sec behind was Philipp Eng in the sole healthy BMW M Hybrid.
Next time by, Blomqvist pitted the leading Acura to be replaced by Colin Braun, while Eng was out of the BMW and Augusto Farfus was installed. However, there were too many people over the wall and so he suffered a drive-through penalty. Three laps later, Lynn pitted to hand off to Richard Westbrook. Thus for the restart, van der Zande in the #01 Cadillac would lead the #10 WTR Acura of Deletraz to the green, ahead of Jaminet, Aitken, Campbell, Braun, Westbrook and Farfus.
Some time before the second full course yellow, Robinson passed Andretti but of course the yellow kept the Andretti Autosport car within range for the restart. In fact, the pair were both jumped by Matthew Bell in the AWA entry. Andretti then stopped the Andretti Autosport car’s fourth stop, allowing Tijmen van der Helm into third for JDC Miller.
