Wayne Taylor Racing’s Louis Deletraz battled through varied weather conditions in a tense qualifying bout to claim the GTP pole for Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta.
GTP The last category to go out saw persistent rain darken the 2.54-mile, 12-turn road course, leaving every team to swap to rain tires. As the 20-minute session went on, conditions changed and the track began to dry out in areas and the lap times continued to fall. In the final seconds, Deletraz was able to put together a late flyer of 1m15.402s in the #10 Acura ARX-06 to secure pole despite having his lap slightly impacted by the #5 JDC Miller MotorSports Porsche 963 of Mike Rockenfeller.

LMP3 Glenn van Berlo propelled Andretti Autosport’s #36 Ligier JS P320 to the top spot in class, putting together a run in 1m16.674s. The lap bettered JDC Miller MotorSports’ #85 Duqueine D08 driven by Rasmus Lindh by 0.129s.
