FIFTH WIN OF SEASON and Hand are still seeking their initial GTLM victory of the season, but they won their class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June. “The team did once again a tremendous job in the pit; we had to really rush it at my driver change, but it all went well,” Mueller said. “Then, it was about 1 hour, 50 minutes of me with the Corvette – running one qualifying lap after another. Basically, the only decider was traffic. I got caught in traffic and soon the gap was just too big. I increased the pressure at the end. My Ford GT was running like a rocket ship today, and the Michelin tires were holding on. It was a 100-percent run today.” Ryan Briscoe and Richard Westbrook finished fourth in the three-time winning No. 67 Ford GT.
