Rolex 24 Hour 20: Seesaw battle between Acuras and Cadillacs continues
Depending on pitstops, either the Acuras or the Cadillacs are leading the Rolex 24 at Daytona at the hour-mark.
As it would happen, the #10 Acura led the #60 Acura at the 20-Hour mark with 4 hours to go, but when they made their pitstops, the Cadillacs took over the lead – the #31 driven by Pipo Derani in front of the #5 driven by Loic Duval.
The #10 got the slow Alexander Rossi out of the car and put Felipe Albuquerque in the seat and the car immediately picked up speed, but it is maybe too late as the Cadillacs are turning faster laps at this point.
The #81 DragonSpeed Oreca leads in LMP2 driven by three IndyCar drivers – Devlin Defrancesco, Patricio O’Ward, Colton Herta and sportscar ace Eric Lux.
