Cadillac has established a clear lead in the Daytona24 as the race enters its final quarter. Latest report ⬇️
CGR driver Sebastien Bourdais propelled the #01 Cadillac V-LMDh to first position shortly after the end of the 15th hour after passing the Porsche of Nick Tandy, who had been struggling on old tyres and subsequently headed to the pitlane for fresh rubber.
By the time Braun returned to the track, the gap between the two cars had stretched back to 32s, with Renger van der Zande having pulled out a big advantage on fresh tyres after taking over the #01 Caddy from Bourdais. The #24 BMW runs fourth in the hands of Marco Wittmann with a consistent and a trouble-free run, albeit two laps off the lead.
The repairs dropped the #6 crew three laps down and, with the #7 car already out of contention with mechanical troubles, the German manufacturer is effectively out of the fight for win with six hours remaining in the race. The LMP2 class featured a straight battle between the #04 APR ORECA and the similar #35 PR1 Mathiasen machine, with Job van Uitert putting the latter in front in the 18th hour of the race.
