Porsche’s Nick Tandy set pole position for the fifth round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, a 100-minute super sprint event, at Detroit.
On the series’ debut on the tight and twisty 1.654-mile, nine-turn temporary street circuit in downtown Detroit, Tandy beat Penske stable-mate Dane Cameron and Cadillac’s Sebastien Bourdais to the fastest time in qualifying for GTP, while Antonio Garcia scored GTD Pro pole position as Corvette swept the field on home turf.
Garcia switched the ’Vette order by producing 1m09.458s and then 1m09.227s. On his final lap, he unleashed a mighty 1m09.092s to seal the deal. Milner trimmed his time down to 1m09.428s, but that was 0.336s shy of pole – but he came perilously close to shunting at Turn 1. Jack Hawksworth was best of the rest in the #14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F, his 1m09.626s over half a second off the pace of Garcia. Priaulx will start fourth, ahead of Factory Ferrari racer Daniel Serra, who produced 1m09.
