Rolex 24 Hour19: Acura vs Cadillac to the end

Posted by AR1 staff

With 5-hours to go in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the all-race battle between the Cadillacs and the Acuras continues unabated.

Felipe Albuquerque has the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Acura in the lead by under 1-second over the #48 Cadillac driven by Simon Pagenaud.

Third is the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura now driven by Juan Montoya. Scott Dixon is 4th in the #01 Ganassi Cadillac and the #55 Mazda has now moved up to 5th place and on the same lap with Jonathan Bomarito at the wheel.

The two Corvettes continue to run roughshod over the GTLM class leading almost the entire race. The #4 Corvette of Tommy Milner leads the #3 Corvette of Antonio Garcia as this one is going to down to the wire it would appear.

The #57 Mercedes continues to lead the #21 Ferrari in GTD but as we type this the two cars just got together sending the #21 Ferrari into the tire barriers in Turn 1.  The Ferrari suffered a punctured left rear tire and had to pit for new tires.  It probably cost them the race win.
