Cadillac Racing began IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s GTP era with a 3-4-5 finish, and Bourdais’ fulltime co-driver Renger van der Zande set a fastest lap just one-thousandth of a second slower than the runner-up Acura ARX-06 of Wayne Taylor Racing.
But Tom Blomqvist’s best effort in the victorious Meyer Shank Racing Acura was three-tenths faster, and in the final couple of stints, on the restarts, MSR seemed able to pull away from the Cadillacs – and eke away from the WTR Acura – at will.
