IMSA: Castroneves keeps #60 Acura on top in 2nd test session
With everyone sandbagging to avoid a Balance of Power hit before race weekend, the times were largely meaningless in the second and final IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship test session of the opening day at the Roar Before the Rolex 24.
It was a lesson on who could sandbag the best.
Helio Castroneves kept Acura on top of the time sheets, with the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 leading the way at Daytona International Speedway.
Castroneves edged out the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport entry driven by Filipe Albuquerque by 0.110 seconds, with Scott Dixon third in the No. 01 Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac V-LMDh.
LMP2 was led by the No. 11 TDS Racing Oreca 07 Gibson of Mikkel Jensen, while the No. 36 Andretti Autosport Ligier JS P320 Nissan driven by Gabby Chaves topped LMP3.
The #75 Mercedes was fastest in GTD and the #14 Lexus in GTD-Pro
