The opening hour of the 62nd Rolex 24 at Daytona was marked by two caution periods and multiple severely damaged cars. Ricky Taylor is currently leading the race in the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti crew. The first caution occurred when Misha Goikhberg lost control of the No. 78 Forte Racing Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo2 and crashed into the tire wall. The second caution involved three LMP2 cars at the Le Mans Chicane and a serious incident between Dennis Andersen and Mike Conway, resulting in damage to the No. 20 High Class Racing ORECA and the No. 14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3. The defending GTD Pro champions, Vasser Sullivan, experienced heartbreak due to this incident. AWA’s No. 13 Corvette also encountered mechanical issues throughout the first hour, while Daniel Serra faced a setback with the air jacks in the No. 62 Risi Competizione Ferrari 296 GT3. At the end of the first hour, these are the current standings.
