USC / 12 Hours of Sebring – Bourdais did everything he could

“I really thought we had better pace than the leading cars on that last restart. » explains the four-time Champ Car champion, who once again shared his No. 5 Action Express Racing Corvette DP with his teammates Joao Barbosa and Christian Fittipaldi. “This is what the race looked like until the last interruption. But the cars in front of us hadn't shown all their cards. I couldn't do anything more. It's a bit of a shame but it's racing. And then once the No. 01 was at the front, it had the chance to refuel just before the yellow flag. Sometimes you need a little luck. We did everything we could. We didn't make any mistakes. »

The No. 5 Corvette DP finished 3rd in the 12 2014 Hours of Sebring behind winners Memo Rojas – Scott Purett – Marino Franchitti on the Riley-Ford of the Ganassi team and the No. 03 HPD ARX-1b of Extreme Speed ​​Motorsport of the trio Ryan Dalziel – Scott Sharp – David Brabham. The next round of the United Sportscar Championship will be held on April 12 in Long Beach, but without the GTD category cars, which will return to the track on May 4 at Laguna Seca.
