IMSA Rolex 24 Hour 1: #10 Acura leads over #01 Cadillac
Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti used strategy to take the lead after an incident-filled first hour of the 62nd hour Rolex 24 at Daytona with the #10 Acura ARX-06 of Ricky Taylor leading the #01 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R of Sebastien Bourdais.
Under mostly sunny skies on a warm January day in Daytona, polesitter and track record holder Derani took the early lead in his red #31 Cadillac, while his countryman Felipe Nasr in the #7 Porsche jumped past Bourdais into second for a few minutes – before Bourdais moved past him into turn one to retake second.
Felipe Nasr runs third in the #7 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963 ahead of the #31 Whelen Engineering Cadillac of Pipo Derani.
George Kurtz currently leads the LMP2 class aboard the #04 CrowdStrike Racing by APR ORECA 07, followed by Nico Pino in the #2 United Autosports USA ORECA, and Pietro Fittipaldi in the #52 Inter Europol by PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports ORECA. Fittipaldi took over from Nick Boulle who led for most of his first stint at the wheel.
In GTD Pro, Andrea Caldarelli in the #19 Iron Lynx Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 has inherited the lead after the #14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 was collected in an incident while leading the class.
Oliver Jarvis runs second in the #9 Pfaff Motorsports McLaren 720S GT3 EVO and Antonio Garcia is third in the #3 Pratt Miller Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R.
Aaron Telitz leads in GTD aboard the surviving #12 Vasser Sullivan Lexus, ahead of a suprisingly strong Manny Franco in the #34 Conquest Racing Ferrari 296 GT3, and Adam Christodolou in the #80 Lone Star Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3.
