No, it is not the Petit Le Mans event which takes place this Saturday, September 5 on the Road Atlanta circuit (Georgia), but the Road Atlanta Grand Prix. Indeed, the Imsa went twice on the hilly 4.088 km track due to the jostled schedule due to the Covid-19.
For this first visit to Georgia, Helio Castroneves and Ricky Taylor (Acura) will lead the way in DPi ahead of Felipe Nasr (Cadillac). Dane Cameron (Penske Acura) has the third fastest time of the qualifying session. The American and his teammate Juan Pablo Montoya will try to secure their second victory after that obtained in Daytona in early August. In GTLM, pole position went to the Porsche 911 RSR of Nick Tandy and Frenchman Frédéric Makowiecki.
In the fight for pole position, Antonio Garcia will start second at Road Atlanta. With the Chevrolet team Corvette, the Spaniard completed his lap in 1’16 “181, barely 14 thousandths behind Nich Tandy! Tommy Milner positioned his Corvette in third place after a time only 55 thousandths slower than that of the poleman.
