  • Ford Chip Ganassi Racing Dominates at Daytona, While Corvette Racing Claims Podium Honours in Florida
    MEDIA INFORMATION 2018 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Round 1: Rolex 24 at Daytona Ford Chip Ganassi Racing dominates at Daytona, while Corvette Racing claims podium honours in Florida Chip Ganassi Racing’s two Michelin-equipped Ford GTs dominated the GT LM class at the Rolex 24 At Daytona, opening round of the 2018 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Despite fierce competition from Ferrari, Porsche and BMW, as well as constant pressure from Corvette Racing’s brace of cars, Ryan Briscoe, Richard Westbrook and Scott Dixon steered the N°67 Ford GT to the weekend’s win, finishing 11.166 seconds clear of team-mates Joey Hand, Dirk Mueller and Sébastien Bourdais in the N°66 sister car. The two Ford GTs led for all but nine of the 783 laps (4,486km) completed by the fastest GT Le Mans cars around the 5.73km track to beat the distance record for the class that had stood since 1992. It was the third victory in a world-class 24-hour endurance race for the Ford GT after its previous successes at Le Mans in 2016 – the year of the car’s launch – and at Daytona last January. The result also saw Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) notch up its 200th race victory (IndyCar, NASCAR, IMSA, FIA WEC, etc.) following a perfect weekend for Mr. Ganassi himself who was named Grand Marshall for the 56th running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona. “Twenty-four-hour races always present a wide range of challenges, both known and unexpected, and this race was no exception,” said Chris Baker, Director of Motorsport, Michelin North America.
