Filipe Albuquerque piloted the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-06 to fourth place in qualifying Saturday afternoon for the IMSA SportsCar Weekend at Road America. Sunday’s race will mark the 10th top-four starting position for blue and black machine at the 4.048-mile road course for the Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport (WTRAndretti) team.

“I enjoy qualifying so much here at Road America,” said Filipe Albuquerque, co-driver of the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-06 for WTRAndretti. “The low fuel, new tires, no traffic – it’s awesome, but today we didn’t have it. We didn’t have it for those laps on pole position, unfortunately, and I really thought we had it. I figured out that we had too much understeer on the car. The race is completely different, so P4 is a good starting point.”
