Rolex 24 Hour 9: #02 Ganassi Cadillac assumes lead

Both Chevrolet Corvette C8.R GTDs have gone behind the wall with technical problems in a major blow to the Chevrolet factory team..

The No. 4 entry from last year’s GT Le Mans class-winning team, now competing in GTD Pro, was taken back to its garage in the seventh hour and was joined by its sister No. 3 car around two hours later.

Race over – zero chance to win now, not that they were going to after IMSA neutered them so badly this year.
