. Sebring12 Hr 3 report - Dixon leads for CGR_Teams Cadillac, enthralling battles in every class IMSA
After a furious battle between Cadillac and Acura in the opening hour, Ganassi jumped Sebastien Bourdais ahead of Pipo Derani out of the pits following the first round of stops, despite giving it four fresh Michelins – partly thanks to a very strong in-lap from Bourdais – but then the field was bunched by the second full course yellow just after the start of the second hour, so the Action Express Racing Cadillac V-Series.R was right behind Ganassi’s similar car for the restart.
At the end of the second hour, Campbell – who had not changed tires at the first round of stops – dropped to last in class. Up front, Bourdais was six seconds ahead of Blomqvist who had a similar advantage over Taylor. Some 25sec off the lead was Farfus, who had nonetheless pulled 15sec ahead of Derani, who was out of grip. He slid straight on at Turn 10, and lost out to the other BMW of Connor De Phillippi and both Porsches.
At the restart, Castroneves fell off the track at Turn 10, dropping to seventh in class, and Nasr lost out to Eng, while at the sharp end of the field, Dixon went down the inside of Taylor at Turn 17 to take the lead and within a lap extended his lead to 2.5sec. In fact, Taylor had to fight off the attention of Eng’s third-placed BMW, but the pair were still edging away from the Porsches and the second BMW.
