A two-day test session at Daytona International Speedway’s road course this week was the official launch of the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class, and featured hybrid-powered cars from four manufacturers – Acura, BMW, Cadillac and Porsche. It was the first time they had all tested at the same track in anger.
“It’s nice to see everyone all together,” said Acura driver Ricky Taylor. “I think everybody is at different points in their development with the cars. It’s the first time people can really get an inside look at how complex these cars are and what a challenge it is to keep them running to their fullest.
