No. 2 Cadillac V-Series.REarl Bamber, Alex Lynn, Richard WestbrookAlex Lynn drove in the qualifying session (qualified fifth; 1 minute, 46.082 seconds on five laps):“It felt really good and that’s why I was a little bit disappointed to be only P5, but I think all credit has to go to Cadillac Racing and Chip Ganassi Racing because I think we’ve come into WEC and made a strong impression so I’m really proud of this team. I think we’re in a good spot. (about the race) It’s only just begun really. We’re in a strong place, we have a fast racecar and I think we just need to run the eight hours really clean and really hard. But I think we’re in a stronger place in the race potentially with how we are with our tires because I think we know that the Hypercars can boost up their power quite a lot, so we need to work out where we can improve and go again tomorrow.” What the IMSA GTP drivers are saying |
