Barber - Friday Report

We’ve seen some interesting stuff in the short history of Magnus Racing, but before today we had never encountered a five-minute qualifying session. Because of a compressed schedule due to sharing the weekend with the IRL, and a Daytona Prototype that crashed in the DP qualifying session, that’s exactly what John Potter encountered when he went out to qualify the No.44 Magnus Racing Porsche GT3 Cup for Saturday’s GRAND-AM Rolex Sportscar Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No.16 race.
Five minutes wasn’t enough time to bring the tires on our Porsche up to temperature, and John did a great job to minimize the damage and put the car eleventh for tomorrow’s grid. It was disappointing because the car had been so good and practice, and both Craig and John were very happy with the way it was handling and for their chances in qualifying. But, that is the hand that we were dealt and we are all already looking forward to tomorrow’s race.
In the Continental Tires Sports Car Challenge qualifying, our latest new driver Leh Keen qualified the No.44 Magnus Racing Porsche Cayman in 14th position – and this time, we won’t get moved to the back! Instead, hopefully, we’ll be moving forward. We aren’t thrilled with starting 14th and we are still making big chassis changes as we learn what it takes to get the Cayman to the front of the field.
The Rolex Sportscar Series race will be shown live on Speed at 1:30PM EST, and will be followed by the Continental Sportscar Challenge race at 4:00PM EST.
