Like last year, the Tyrolean racing driver Lucas Auer clinched pole position for the 24-hour classic of Daytona in a Mercedes-AMG GT3 in the GTD class on Sunday.
Fastest with him in Florida were German Philip Ellis, American Russell Ward and Dutchman Indy Dontje. “The team did a great job preparing the car, the car feels good,” Auer said. The race is scheduled for the coming weekend. Porsche works driver Klaus Bachler finished eighth in the “Roar before the 24” in the GTD Pro with Frenchman Patrick Pilet and Belgian Laurens Vanthoor – as did Philipp Eng, the third Austrian who competed. The man from Salzburg is in the top category with a BMW M Hybrid V8.
