Lime Rock July 6 - Afternoon Practice

4:15 pm ET - A brief but intense rainstorm just before today's qualifying session at Lime Rock Park resulted in the cancellation of qualifying. IMSA decided to turn the session into a practice session instead for all classes. Starting positions will be determined by this morning's practice times.

Both the No. 44 and the No. 45 went out on slicks on a nearly dry track. All was going well until the No. 45 was hit on track by one of the Audis, sending Johannes into the wall. The left side of the car sustained significant body damage, and the front left radiator will need to be replaced. Johannes is fine and was able to continue slowly on track and into the garage. It's unfortunate because we've had so little track time up to this point - this will push the No. 45 up to race day morning warmup before they can really begin setup.

It looks like the rain will begin again shortly - if that happens, the crew will pull the No. 44 off track. And.. yes, the track is now getting too wet and slick so the crew calls Darren in in the No. 44 and back into the paddock.
