The 29-year-old Brazilian, along with co-driver Alexander Sims, sit atop the overall standings, with their Cadillac V-Series.R scoring victory in the 12 Hours of Sebring and two additional podiums [Laguna, Watkins Glen] through eight rounds.
The Action Express Racing duo enter this weekend’s Petit Le Mans with 2,460 points. The gap at the top is narrow, though, as Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque (Wayne Taylor Racing)trail by just three points, with Nicky Tandy and Mathieu Jaminet (Porsche Penske Motorsport) only five behind, and Connor De Phillippi and Nick Yelloly (BMW M Team RLL) still in it at 38 points behind and fourth in the standings.
