On the series’ debut on the tight and twisty 1.654-mile, nine-turn temporary street circuit in downtown Detroit, Tandy beat Penske stable-mate Dane Cameron and Cadillac’s Sebastien Bourdais to the fastest time in qualifying for GTP, while Antonio Garcia scored GTD Pro pole position as Corvette swept the field on home turf.
There was an immediate strategy play, as both of Porsche Penske Motorsport 963s pitted for fresh Michelins, which would mean some extra warm-up lap pain in the quickfire 15-minute session but would produce more grip later.
