Ricky Taylor, full season co-driver, No. 10 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R: “I think if we had put everything together, I think we had a little bit more today. Not for P1, but I think I could have put together a little bit better lap. The car for the race is a comfortable car and is something we can fight with over six hours. Given the heat today, this is the closest to the expected track conditions for the race. This may be the best read for what our race car may be like. We will talk about it over tonight and come up with the best race car for tomorrow.”

Louis Delétraz, full season co-driver, No. 40 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R: “Our best qualifying of the year, so that is positive. We still want more. The car felt good today and I think we have a good race car. The conditions will be very hot so that is what we have to work towards. It is a good starting position, and we can fight from there.”
