DAYTONA, Fla.—Light rain hit the Tudor United SportsCar Series Roar Before the Rolex 24 Sunday morning, totally changing the character of the session. Rain tires and cautious lines replaced high-speed testing of the latest aero or suspension setting.
Light rain fell briefly at the end of the Continental Sportscar Challenge session but the track dried before the Tudor cars came out. The rain returned shortly after the start of the session and kept falling, forcing teams to call their cars in for rain tires. Drivers had to find out how much each section of track had changed after every lap—and occasionally didn’t learn in time, though no one hit anything solid; the session finishwd without a yellow flag.
Racers talk about “a dry line forming.” This is what that process looks like. (Chris Jasurek/Epoch Times)
