6:00 pm. As the sun is starting to set on the 50th edition of Rolex 24 at Daytona, the race has just gone back to green.
Memo Gidley is driving the leading GAINSCO Racing No. 99 Corvette DP. The biggest story however belongs to the No. 10 SunTrust Racing Corvette DP, which experienced some engine problems, and eventually retired.
Which means favourites Max Angelelli, Ryan Briscoe and Ricky Taylor are watching from the sideline.
In GT, it's Paul Edwards leading at the wheel of the Autohaus Motorsports No. 88 Camaro GT.R, closely followed by the Flying Lizard No. 45 Porsche GT3 of Mike Rockenfeller.
The No. 51 APR Motorsport Audi R8 Grand-Am has had a very difficult first two hours. The car is down in 52nd spot, with Emanuele Pirro trying to claw back some of the 21 laps they have lost to the leaders.
James Hinchcliffe's No. 70 SpeedSource Mazda RX-8, is sitting in 24th spot – two laps behind the leaders.
