. WayneTaylorRcng Acura leads Sebring at half-distance as Cadillacs give chase IMSA
At the start of the fourth hour, Chip Ganassi Racing’s Cadillac V-Series R Scott Dixon had a 30s lead over the BMW of Philipp Eng, the Porsche 963s of Nick Tandy and Felipe Nasr but half an hour later, Eng went off at Turn 3. The moment’s hesitation to avoid the incident allowed Nasr to slip ahead of his teammate, and 15m later Tandy’s day got worse when his car suddenly slowed out of Turn 5.
Although unluckily demoted to second, van der Zande at least now had fresh rubber but he would have to hold off the similarly shod Aitken in the other Cadillac and Sheldon van der Linde in the #25 BMW. Braun had a long stop, the Meyer Shank team having to remove the engine cover, and so he fell to fifth in class. By staying out a lap longer, Christensen in the #7 Porsche, Wittmann in the #24 BMW and Dane Cameron in the #6 Porsche pitted a lap later to get back on the lead lap.
At the end of the sixth hour, Ben Hanley led for Crowstrike, ahead of Alex Quinn of PR1 Mathiasen, Kyffin Simpson of Tower – who took over from IndyCar ace Scott McLaughlin, who drove a very strong couple of stints, Devlin DeFrancesco of RWR, Lars Kern of AWA and Anders Fjordbach of High Class.
