IMSA: OAK Racing, Dodge and 8Star continue to have the edge in COTA warm-up

By ,

The new Ligier JS P2-Honda of OAK Racing carried on where it left off in qualifying by topping the time sheets in race day warm-up for the United Sports Car Championship. Gustavo Yacaman lapped the 3.427-mile course in Austin, Tx., in 1min58.808sec on its fourth of nine laps completed in the 20-minute session.

As in qualifying, its closest pursuer was the Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, which was just 0.2sec behind, and the Ford Ecoboost-powered Riley of Michael Shank Racing was third, albeit a further second behind.

In GTLM, a Dodge Viper SRT GTS-R again topped the times, but this time it was the Dominik Farnbacher/Marc Goossens No. 91 on top, chased by the three works Porsches.

The 8Star Motorsports ORECA of Sean Rayhall/Luis Diaz (ABOVE) was on top of the PC pile, while GTD was headed by the Snow Racing Porsche of Jan Heylen and Madison Snow.

 

The 2hr45min race, Round 12 of the TUDOR Championship, begins at 11.35 a.m. CT. There will be live streaming on imsa.com and the race will be covered on FOXSports 2.
