Rolex 24 Hour 15: Barbosa leads Hunter-Reay

The #4 Corvette with Oliver Gavin driving leads in GTLM

The No. 5 Action Express Racing Corvette DP of Joao Barbosa leads the 54th Rolex 24 at Daytona with 15 hours complete, but the sister No. 31 car, caught fire in the pits while refueling and Dane Cameron bailed from the race-contending No. 31 Corvette DP. Cameron was uninjured and the team managed to get the car back on track without losing a lap.

Ryan Hunter-Reay runs second in the No. 90 Visit Florida Corvette DP, with Brendon Hartley third in the No. 01 Ford Chip Ganassi Riley-Ford DP.

Corvette Racing leads GTLM, but BMW lost one of its two cars when a suspected brake disc failure caused Lucas Luhr to crash hard into the Turn 1 wall in the 13th hour, bringing out the 15th full-course caution of the race. Luhr was uninjured but the No. 100 BMW M6 GTLM was done.

Despite Luhr’s exit, eight cars remain on the lead lap in the class.

The No. 97 Turner Motorsport BMW M6 GT3 of Markus Palttala is out front in GT Daytona, ahead of the No. 540 Black Swan Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R and No. 98 Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3.
