Porsche 963 leads Cadillac by 0.172s in GTP and also tops GTD Pro with 911 in first practice
Porsche’s Dane Cameron set the pace in opening practice for the sixth round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship at Watkins Glen, ahead of the returning Tom Blomqvist for Cadillac. IMSA brings a 56-car field to the classic 3.4-mile road course, which hosted the United States Grand Prix for 20 years, set in the rolling hills near the Finger Lakes in upstate New York. Cameron led the way in the 90-minute session in his factory-backed #7 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963 with a lap of 1m34.
“Took me a few laps but then I got comfortable, I guess this is what I’m built for! “Initially I wasn’t supposed to be here, but things happened on the other side and Pipo’s expecting another child, so in case it arrives then it’s better to have three drivers instead of one!” A second red flag was required with 13 minutes remaining, again for the Tower LMP2, when Charlie Eastwood crashed it at Turn 7, this time deranging its left-front corner.
