Remember how Colin Braun and Meyer Shank Racing took the GTP lead at the top of the hour? It didn’t last long thanks to Wayne Taylor Racing’s Kamui Kobayashi.
Kobayashi almost collided with Braun as he pulled out in the tri-oval but he made his move for the lead cleanly to put the #40 WTR Cadillac V-Series.R back in the lead. Now, after a round of pit stops and driver changes, Louis Deletraz leads for Cadillac WTR.
Unsurprisingly, the #44 Magnus Racing Aston Martin is the third official retirement of the race after its catastrophic engine failure.
Deletraz leads by about a second over Raffaele Marciello in the #24 BMW M Hybrid V8.
And now all three Cadillacs are in the mix – with Jack Aitken in third aboard the Whelen #31 and Brendon Hartley in the WTR #10.
With PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports and Riley plugging in their Bronze drivers, there’s been another shake-up in the LMP2 running order – a Danish 1-2, in fact.
Malthe Jakobsen leads in the #04 ORECA for CrowdStrike Racing by APR, from Nicklas Nielsen in the #88 AF Corse ORECA. Paul di Resta runs third in the #22 for United Autosports USA.
It’s back to the front for Paul Miller Racing in GTD PRO: Back on sequence with the rest of the front-runners, Kelvin van der Linde leads in the #1 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, just ahead of Tommy Milner in the #4 Corvette Racing Z06 GT3.R.
Jordan Pepper runs third in the No.9 Pfaff Motorsports Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2, and Max Hesse in the sister #48 Paul Miller BMW is fourth.
Tom Sargent has driven to the front of GTD and checked out in his #120 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R, pulling out to a 10-second lead over the #27 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin of Mattia Drudi, the #96 Turner Motorsport BMW of Patrick Gallagher, and the #32 Korthoff Competition Motors Mercedes-AMG of Daniel Morad – the latter two now entering the fray for the first time tonight.
