ST. PETERSBURG, Fla—While a slick track and shredding tires thinned the opposition, the Patrón Hightower and Lowes-Fernandez Acuras ran flawlessly to a 1-2 finish in the St. Pete ALMS race.
After an early spin, the Scott Sharp-David Braham Patrón Hightower P1 Acura ran without a mishap, despite needing to tiptoe around turn One, which David Brabham and Scott Sharp agreed was “worse than in the wet.”
The Highcroft Patrón team set up the car to start loose and to understeer increasingly as the track heated up. This kept the Acura ARX-02a controllable when other cars were skating through the slippery corners.
