Double podium for the Ligier JS P320s at the 24 Hours of Daytona

28 – 29 January – The 61st edition of the 24 Hours of Daytona took place this weekend in Florida, USA. After setting the fastest times in all four free practice sessions, the Ligier JS P320s had to cope with a race that was strewn with pit falls. #33 run by Sean Creech Motorsport started from pole and dominated part of the event. But the car ran into electrical problems, which dashed its hopes of victory, and it crossed the line in second place for the third year on the bounce setting the fastest lap in the race in a time of 1m 43.265s. Completing the podium in third position was #38 entered by Performance Tech.
