SpeedSource wins their second Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona in GT
In the GT class, the No. 70 SpeedSource Mazda and
drivers Jonathan Bomarito, Nick Ham, David Haskell and Sylvain Tremblay took
top honors and eighth overall by a four-lap margin over the No. 67 TRG/Flying
Lizards Porsche GT3 and drivers Jim Lowe, Eric Lux, Jim Pace, Tim Sugden and
James Walker. Tremblay started third in the No. 70, but wasn't able to stay up
front early.
The car lost two laps between the third and fourth hours and
several more when Bomarito radioed to his crew the car was suffering from a vibration.
By the 14th hour, the car was sixth in GT, but seven laps off the leader's
pace. However, problems - mechanical woes and running out of fuel, among them -
plagued SpeedSource's competitors, and by the 20th hour, the Mazda RX-8 led the
class. The SpeedSource drivers let the race come to them, and then stayed in
position to take the victory. For 16 consecutive hours, no car from a team
other than TRG or Stevenson Motorsports led the GT class. In fact, the two
teams held the top five positions for most of that time as well.
