Road America Raceday!
10:25 - checkered flag and the No. 44 is back in pit lane and Joerg is on his way. The crew will work on some driver changes, then head back to the paddock for final work before the race, which begins at 4:00 pm CT today. Joerg had the fastest time of the session today with a 2:08:118.
We'll broadcast our radio again this afternoon, starting around 3:45 pm CT.
See you then! Jennifer
10:22 - The No. 61 Ferrari is off at the exit of 5 in the gravel trap. Road America has some very extensive run offs and deep gravel traps - once it, it's tough for most cars to get out unassisted.
10:21 - Joerg and Seth are both now in their cars.
Darren's take on the session "Car is actually really nice, they've done a great jo - only did 5 laps but a few more laps and we'll be in there - I think it's good enough to run right in the front."
10:00 am - The No. 73 Tafel Porsche is going behind the wall with some apparent problems - an oil leak, possibly something more.
The No. 45 crew is getting ready for a pit stop and driver change to Joerg. Darren will stay out for another few minutes before coming in for a driver change to Seth.
10:00 am CT - Good morning from Road America. Both Lizard Porsches are out on track for the final track session before this evening's race. Darren arrived late last night from Watkins Glen and is now in the No. 44 confirming the race setup and getting adjusted to the car. Darren estimates it takes at least a few laps before drivers can adjust from the Daytona prototype that he was driving at WG to the Porsche. Johannes is out in the No. 45. It's still very warm and humid today but slightly overcast, which is helping keep the heat down.
Both drivers are commenting that the track is dirty and there is a lot of oil in some areas - probably residual from the Champcar session this morning.
