At the Daytona Rolex 24 hour race a Cadillac powered #5 Mustang Sampling Racing entry took top honors followed by another Cadillac powered Prototype; the #31 Whelen Engineering entry. Not this time! The GT LeMans class also was shaken up by Porsche as the Ford GT's and the Corvette C7.R cars were not in front at the finish.
GT LeMans class was taken by the Porsche GT Team #911 car driven by Nick Tandy, Patrick Pilet and Frederic Makowiecki while GT Daytona was won by #48Paul Miller Racing in a Lamborghini Huracan GT3.
The race, held on St. Patrick's day saw the usual fun and frivolity provided by a perennial fan base that entertains around the track. Some evidence is shown below. Take a look and enjoy this gallery of pictures I brought back for you:
