In the third hour of the race, both of the GTD PRO Ford Multimatic Motorsports Mustang GT3s experienced the same problem – a loose trunk lid. The lid had come loose at the front and broke off due to the airflow. Both cars had to make unexpected pit stops to replace the lid.
Louis Deletraz, driving the No. 40 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Acura ARX-06, led for most of the hour after going off-sequence with the rest of the field to gain track position. However, at the end of the hour, Philipp Eng in the No. 24 BMW M Team RLL M Hybrid V8 took the lead as the GTP field made pit stops. The true race leader, though, was Scott Dixon in the No. 01 Cadillac.
The No. 14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F returned to the race after repairs from a collision in the first hour, but it is currently 26 laps behind the GTD PRO leader.
IMSA has provided a new live telemetry tool to follow the race, which includes information on energy levels, usage, regeneration, gears, brakes, throttle application, and speed of the GTP cars. The tool can be found at https://www.imsa.com/gtp-telemetry/. The standings for hour three are also available.
