Racing is a fickle sport and when you and your competition alike, are debuting new race cars, it is even more so. Such was the case at this year's recently completed Rolex 24 with the introduction of the Grand Touring Prototype or LMDh (Le Mans Daytona Hybrid) sports cars. For Action Express, we learned a lot, coming home fifth. A top five is a good showing, but I know we wanted more. I admire the tenacity of our drivers and our team, as we raced well but had issues, not mechanical in nature at all. A slower GT Daytona, GT3 car, crunched into us during the race and hence, with the unawareness of whoever was driving it, did damage to the car that had to be repaired.
If that hadn't occurred, no doubt we would have been higher up in the order, at the top of the shop, fighting for the win. We move on now, to the 12 Hours of Sebring, at the fabled yet difficult WW. II. bomber training base turned racetrack, in Sebring, Florida, for round two of the championship, which is slated to be run on Saturday, March 18th. Sebring is a race we won in fine style in 2019 during the Daytona Prototype International era. It has been a long time between drinks of champagne for us there. This year, we shall prevail. I am confident in our team and our drivers that we can and will meet the challenge and thoroughly take the fight to the other Cadillac's, to the Acura's, to the Porsche's, and to the BMW's. Once again, if you see a red Cadillac in your mirrors, you know we are there and we Expect to Win.
We did everything possible at Daytona and will put the race behind us, now looking forward to the challenge that the great old airfield at Sebring presents. See everyone in March, for that one.
