Beating the Cadillacs at this year’s IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship’s traditional season opener, the Daytona 24 Hours, will be hard,
“I think it will be challenging to compete against the Cadillacs, but in IMSA and in a 24-hour race at Daytona, anything can happen,” said the experienced sportscar driver. Jani will be driving the #5 Proton Competition Porsche 963 alongside Bruni, Picariello, and Dumas. They faced a setback with a practice session crash, requiring repairs and causing them to miss qualifying. Consequently, they will start 10th in class, alongside JDC-Miller in the #5 Porsche 963. Jani believes that while the Cadillacs have the pace to win, factors like traffic, avoiding mistakes, and staying on the lead lap also come into play. He is unsure about the performance of the Acura and BMW competitors. On the other hand, Herta from WTRAndretti Acura thinks that Cadillac and Porsche are strong, and although they need to find some pace, they can still race competitively.
