Cadillac moves into Petit lead at halfway amid tightening points

The No. 01 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R continues to display its speed as Renger van der Zande was leading at the halfway mark over Nick Yelloly in the No. 25 BMW M Team RLL M Hybrid V8 and Harry Tincknell in the No. 59 Proton Competition Porsche 963.

For the championship fight, as they ran at halfway: Yelloly/De Phillippi have 2767 points; Taylor/Albuquerque, 2752; Sims/Derani, 2723; Bourdais/van der Zande 2703; and Jaminet/Tandy 2691. The top three in that list have had at least a lap in the championship lead, along with Matt Campbell and Felipe Nasr.

LMP2 is a three-way battle between the No. 04 Crowdstrike Racing by APR ORECA, the No. 11 TDS Racing ORECA and the No. 52 PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports ORECA, running at halfway in that order with Nolan Siegel, Scott Huffaker and Alex Quinn driving, respectively. That would give the championship to Huffaker’s co-drivers, Mikkel Jensen and Steven Thomas.

Three cars are left in the LMP3 battle, with Matthew Bell leading in the No. 13 AWA Duqueine, followed by Garrett Grist for Jr III Racing, and Gar Robinson in the No. 74 Riley Motorsports Ligier.
