We’ve just swapped drivers. After a shunt from the Brumos Daytona Prototype put us in the pit — requiring a new right front wheel and resulting in some unwanted oversteer and a leftward pull — Team Kapitan and amateur alchemist Rene Villeneuve transmuted the goblet of misfortune into a cup of determined opportunity; clawing his way back to 9th position while coping with 120-degree in-car temperatures. Due to an early yellow — which fouled our initial pit strategy (we were hoping for a slightly later caution flag for the first driver swap) and the Brumos incident — Rene, Henri and the TRG crew decided the best course of action was to leave Villeneuve behind the wheel for two hours, leaving Richard to drive the final 45 minutes of the race. We’ll keep you informed. Meanwhile, our feed from the Nerve Center is still live — be sure to scope it.
