Daytona 24h, H6: Porsche surges past Cadillac to lead
During hour four of the race, there was an early caution due to a spin by Lance Willsey’s LMP2 car, nearly causing a collision with Colton Herta’s Acura. Dixon stayed out while Aitken pitted, giving himself an energy advantage. The top two cars were Cadillacs, with Yelloly making a forceful pass to take third place. In the fifth hour, the BMW and Acura teams closely pursued the Cadillacs, while Porsche and Acura took a more conservative approach. Two additional cautions occurred during this time, one caused by the same Ligier that had spun earlier, and another due to car issues. Porsche’s Campbell took the lead after the second caution and built a strong advantage over the Cadillacs. In the LMP2 class, the Crowdstrike and United Autosports ORECAs battled for the lead, with Felipe Massa briefly leading the pack. In the GTD class, the Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 held the top spot after the Pfaff Motorsports McLaren encountered mechanical issues.
