IMSA: Cadillac shows its muscle in 2nd Rolex 24 practice

Richard Westbrook put Cadillac atop the time charts for the first time in the GTP era, with the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac V-LMDh quickest in Thursday’s second practice for the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

The Englishman reeled off a best lap of 1:35.185 to edge out the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport Acura ARX-06 of Louis Deletraz.

The No. 32 Team Korthoff Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo GTD car of Mikael Grenier led the way in the production-based ranks, ahead of the GTD Pro pace-setting No. 79 WeatherTech Racing Mercedes driven by Jules Gounon.

The third and final practice session of the day is set to begin at 7:15 p.m.
