Rolex 24: Hour 9 Standings - Barbosa keeps #5 Cadillac out front

#5 Cadillac remains out front

LAT for IMSA

Joao Barbosa took over in the #5 Cadillac just before the 9 hour mark and was out front as the clock struck 9 hours down in the Rolex 24. It's remained dry since the rain in Hour 6 but more rain is forecast Sunday.

Ricky Taylor ran 2nd in the #7 Penske Acura some 29 seconds in arrears.

Fernando Alonso is back in the #23 Ligier but the car runs 3 laps behind in 10th place, the LMP2 cars from Europe being no match for the DPIs of IMSA – unfair balance of power set to favor IMSA of course.

The two sandbagging Ford GTs are showing their real pace come race time and are dominating the GTLM class with the #66 leading the #67. Over 90 seconds behind the two Ford GTs was the #4 Corvette with Tomy Milner behind the wheel.

In GTD the #29 Audi was leading the #33 Mercedes.
