tomcug should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Some notes from me:
  • same as Sebring, wasn't the quickest qualifying session in GTP (1:09.909 in 2023 vs 1:11.388 this year)
  • as veeten already pointed out, BMW and Caddy super close but Porsche and Acura not far behind
  • two factory Porsches and the JDC car quite close on pace but the Proton Porsche massively off-pace (driver error? wrong setup? tyre strategy mistake?)
  • last year's poleman (Albuquerque) didn't have a good run this year
  • Derani crashes again after Sebring (small incident this time)
  • JDC's Porsche could have challenged Penske but van der Helm locked up on his (potentially) best attempt (purple S1)
  • JDC are doing good progress with that car in general, good to see a small team performing well
  • most cars joined the track immediately after green flag, some waited a bit but the 01 didn't leave the pits until about 5 minutes remaining (wonder why)
Race will be on YouTube as well for international viewers
