AJ Allmendinger and Andy Lally, who won the 2012 24 Hours of Daytona in Daytona Prototype and GT respectively, topped the first day of action at the 2013 Roar Before the Rolex 24 testing, yesterday at the Daytona International Speedway.
AJ Allmendinger, returning to the wheel of his No. 60 Michael Shank Racing Ford/Riley turned a lap of 1min42.918s, edging ahead of the two BMW-powered Ganassi entries.
Lally, back in the cockpit of Magnus Racing's No. 44 Porsche 911 GT3 clocked a 1min49.322s, which Alex Job Racing's Marco Holzer just couldn't match.
David Donohue, in Napleton Racing's No. 16 Porsche Cayman, topped the new GX class with a 1min57.466s.
All three drivers set their best lap in the afternoon, when the damp track was starting to come around.
Teams are still testing today, and tomorrow as well.
