UPDATE at 01:53 hours ET - the TUDOR United Sports Car Challenge Rolex 24 at Daytona is just eleven minutes shy of the halfway mark. There are about six hours of racing before the sky starts to lighten and the sun finally peeks over the horizon. There have been nine cautions, one major accident and only three (official) retirements. Yes, it is down a few laps but the DeltaWing continues to run. The Mazda Skyactiv Diesel Prototypes are also still on track each lap measuring another level of success for the fledgling program. Prototypes hold the top seven spots - a Corvette DP in the lead (#5) with a Riley DP Ford Ecoboost in second. GTLMs hold positions 8 through 11 with a couple of LMPCs in 12th and 13th.
It is currently 52F / 11C and there is still plenty of activity on the infield with fans moving around or settled in at their campsites with fires burning and beverages flowing.
We will update the full field just after the 12 hour mark and do our best to keep you updated through the night. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/RaceCanada_ca
