Danny Formal, full season co-driver, No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2: “P6, can’t say I am not disappointed with myself. The guys and the crew gave me a fantastic car. We were running P2 this morning. I am very pleased with the car, the balance and everything felt great. The team really gave me a comfortable platform. I did everything I could and pushed as hard as I could. P6, not a terrible place to start. I like starting from the outside. Turn 2 is a pretty aggressive braking zone so maybe we can pass at the start. Really grateful to Lamborghini, DEX Imaging, Wayne Taylor Racing and everyone under the tent giving their all. After a difficult Long Beach and difficult Sebring, this is a pretty good deal. Excited for tomorrow and we will give it our all.”
