Danny Formal, full season co-driver, No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2: “Difficult qualifying session for all the Lamborghini power plants today. We were the fastest Lamborghini which was a positive for our team. P7, though is not where we wanted to be. It is a very tight field – a tenth would have given me P3. The guys gave me a great car, and we have a really good race car. The Lamborghini GTD has always been a really strong race car, so hopefully we can get off a good start tomorrow. There is some weather in the area scheduled to occur around race start and some rain would be helpful. Our car is really, really fast in the rain. Thankful to all the support from DEX, Lamborghini and the team. We will get after it tomorrow.”
