24h v Daytoně již o víkendu.
Mezinárodní okruhovou sezonu otevře v sobotu v 19:40h našeho času tradičně 24hodinovka v Daytoně. Jednou z „tradic“ tohoto poříd ještě prestižního podniku, který dřívě patříval i do světového šampionátu značek, je sice mizivý zájem amerického publika – startovní pole ovšem bude velmi pestré a dobře obsazené.
Na kombinaci oválu a jeho infieldu jsou samozřejmě favority posádky deseti prototypů třídy GTP. Na jednom z nich (Action Express Cadillac) si Brazilec Pipo Derani zajel pro pole-position. O 59 startujících vozů se podělí mimo jiné bývalí jezdci F1 Sebastien Bourdais, Felipe Nasr, Marcus Ericsson, Jack Aitken, Jenson Button a Felipe Massa.
Dále esa vytrvalostních závodů Neel Jani, Felipe Albuquerque, Brendon Hartley, Rene Rast , Louis Deletraz a špičkoví piloti CART Scott Dixon, Alex Palou, Josef Newgarden, Colton Herta, Romain Grosjean. Patricio O´Ward, Felix Rosenqvist a Alexander Rossi.
Z Čech a Slovenska na Floridu nevyrazil nikdo, což opětně dokumentuje nezdravý stav okruhového sportu v těchto zemích.
