Rolex 24 Hour 9: Cadillacs run 1-2 in hotly contested Rolex 24
With the lead swapping based on pitstops, the No. 01 Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac leads the #31 Whelen Engineering Cadillac by just 1.35s after 9 hours of the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
The top-6 GTP cars ran withing 3-seconds of each other with the No. 31 Cadillac in 2nd and the #6 Penske Porsche in 3rd.
It’s still anyone’s race.
The all-Oreca LMP2 class has been largely controlled by PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports, which held a one-minute lead over the second-place TDS Racing car before the fourth FCY.
Sean Creech Motorsports leads in LMP3 after Andretti Autosport incurred a penalty for Rasmus Lindh spinning around the Era Motorsport Oreca 07 Gibson.
Jack Hawksworth in the Vasser Sullivan Lexus was at the front of the GTD Pro class.
