DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - February 3 - Just as they were feeling comfortable in first place for the second time during the race, disaster struck the #57 Seikel Motorsport Porsche 911 GT3 RS of Plumb/Collin/Burgess/Shep, putting them way back in the standings, and seeming spoiling their chance to win the GT class.
Right after nine hour mark, there was a multi-car accident at turn #1, and the #57 Porsche caught the back of an AGT car and smashed two of the car's three radiators. The pit stop cost the team 20 laps.
The #66 Racers Group Porsche 911 GT3 RS of Bernhard/Bergmeister/Buckler/Schrom is now back in the lead, with a two-lap lead on the #43 Orbit Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RS of Kyle Petty/Peter Baron/Leo Hindery/Mike Borkowski and the #79 Fitzgerald/Jackson/Matos /Franchitti Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The #66 car is also running ninth overall.
The #38 Champion Porsche Lola continues to climb in the standings, now running tenth overall, with the leaders in front of it continuing to experience problems.
In GTS, the #00 Empringham/Spenard/Bytzek Porsche GT1 now has a three-lap lead on the Gentilozzi Jaguar as the Trans-Am car has had overheating problems. The #00 car is currently sixth overall.
