Rolex 24 Hour 20: #10 Acura leads the #01 Cadillac with 4-hours to go
With 4-hours to go in the Rolex 24 at Daytona Felipe Albuquerque in the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Acura leads the #01 Ganassi Cadillac of Scott Dixon by 6.4s, but after pit stops the #48 Cadillac should be back in 2nd and the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura in 3rd.
Dixon will slot into 4th place after all the stops are done. The Acuras have been able to go 1-lap longer on a tank of fuel and that may pay dividends in the end.
Jonathan Bomarito continues to run 5th on the #55 Mazda.
The #18 Oreca now leads the LMP2 class over the #8 Oreca.
The #3 Corvette (Nicky Catsburg) has now taken the lead over the #4 Corvette (Alexander Sims) as the two Chevys have swapped the lead back and forth all race long. GTLM class allows each team to run a hard or a soft tire and the teams play a strategy game. The #3 was running the harder tire but now the #3 has switched to the soft tire – the same as the #4.
After the #57 Mercedes of Philip Ellis punted its main competition – the #21 Ferrari – into the barriers, the #75 Mercedes of Luca Stolz now runs 2nd over the #16 Wright Motorsports of Patrick Long.
