24 Hours of Daytona – FP2: Cadillac surprises Acura

At Acura, some have started to say that things have been going a little too well since the start of the Roar. This Thursday morning, Filipe Albuquerque dominated a new Free Practice session at the wheel of the Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti ARX-06.

Heat stroke or did we deliberately slow down this Thursday afternoon in Florida on the Japanese manufacturer's coast? Until the very last moments of the session, WTRAndretti and Meyer Shank Racing remained well behind the Cadillacs who were going to score a hat-trick. Louis Delétraz stepped up the pace in his last attempt, but failed 0.238 seconds behind Richard Westbrook in the No. 02 Cadillac V-LMDh.

Les deux autres prototypes de Detroit (Michigan) ont donc pris les troisièmes et quatrièmes places et le constructeur américain semble monter en puissance en Floride. Les Porsche sont en embuscade, tandis que les deux BMW sont toujours en retrait au fur et à mesure que les séances avancent.

In the other categories, PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports and Mercedes continue to dominate in LM P2 and Grand Touring. Expected to be in pole position for the race on Saturday, the No. 57 of the German manufacturer, operated by Winward Racing, remained in its box following damage following Lucas Auer's violent exit from the track during Free Practice 1. Taken to the At the hospital, the Austrian pilot is doing well apart from back pain, his team assured us.
