Sebring update, 1 of two cars retired, due to overheating

val1s · 03-18-2006, 12:34 PM

The #2 audi had a heat exchanger replaced after practice. After 5 hours of racing the #1 car was retired, for overheating issues. At the current caution 3rd or 4th? The #2 Audi has a 3 lap lead, with 6 hours to go, an extended pit stop during the caution lost a lap, but allowed them to do the last day light check, replacing what looked like a fuel pump, and steering wheel.
More later? depends if I go out.
