Garcia’s flying lap was compromised by traffic – but may have benefited from the tow – on the faster parts of the track. The result is fourth in the GTD Pro class – 1.3sec off the pacesetting WeatherTech Racing Mercedes – and 12th in GTD overall, and 2sec off the GTD pole by the Winward Racing Mercedes.
Garcia described his qualifying run as “a little bit messy,” explaining: “I didn’t know which cars had Pro drivers and which had Bronze drivers. I got caught out a few times but that’s just the way it is. Whatever I lost behind in traffic is what I gained on the draft so it was a trade-off. His full-time teammate Jordan Taylor admitted: “From a pace perspective, it’s hard to tell where we’re going to stack up next week. We’re focusing on what we can control.”
“Last year, we were guessing on what was going to work and what wasn’t going to work,” recalls Taylor. “I feel like we are so far ahead of where we were last year… Now we’re fine-tuning the car and making small changes here and there to make all three drivers happy.
CorvetteRacing Amazing how the moment the performance across the grid is evened up under the regulations - the Corvette is suddenly not winning everything !! Who could have guessed ?
