Rolex 24 at Daytona – practice & qualifying
On Friday morning, just after the 5th and last practice session, Marc sounded optimistic for his 6th 24 Hours of Daytona.
“Practice and qualifying went smoothly and according to plan. Steven Bertheau was our qualifying-driver and did put the car on the 40th position in the GT-class. As he drove qualifying, he is obliged to take the start of the race. After the last practice session on Thursday evening, the team started to put the Porsche in race-trim for the 24 hours. As the teams are only allowed to work until a specific hour in the evening, they finished this job on Friday morning. During the final 2 practice sessions on Friday, which were held in rainy conditions, we did the shake-down of the car to verify if it was ready for the 24 hours. Right now (Fridayafternoon) we are practicing pitstops and driver changes. It’s important to tune the seat positions and the length of the seatbelts for the different drivers to each other correctly in order to have quick stops.
