デイトナ24時間、予選1回目が木曜日にありまして、この予選で上位30位の順位が決まっちゃうらしい。
なんかそういうの聞くとインディ500と同じ国だなぁって(笑)。
31位以下は金曜の予選で決まってます。以下ご確認ください。
エンゲはニュージーランドのA1からデイトナに直行。そしてデイトナが終わったら今度はオーストラリアへ。
ちなみに昨年の腕のケガ、やっぱり元通りってわけには行かないそうですが、まあドライブするのには影響はないとのこと。
さてGTクラスではRX8がPPです。まあ決勝は長いのでまあPPとったからって…ですが、ポルシェがこれだけいる中でRX8が取れたってことで、チームの人たちはかなり喜んでいる模様。
Sylvain Tremblayがタイムだしたそうな。
GT2の2位はモンタナリがタイム出してます。
GTの3位は、タイム出したのはウェストブルック様でなくてSpencer Pumpellyだそうです。4位はJohnny Mowlem。
RX8がPPなのはまあ納得がいく話らしいんだけどフェラーリが2位なのはGrandAm的にはちょっとアレかもしれないそうです。＜アレって。
DPの方は、タイム出したのはPPがネグリ、2位がオールメンディンガー、3位がグーセン。
いやー、なんか嬉しいですね！（笑）
トップのRileyは3台とも新しいボディワークの模様。
パトリック(元)少年は47位。
