At the 18 hours mark, Pipo Derani with #31 Cadillac V-Series.R was leading Felipe Nasr in Porsche #7 by 1.432 seconds! At the end of his early morning stint, Tom Blomqvist said: "The car is just working well. It’s difficult out there because the Porsche and BMW are quick at different points. It’s hard work. Sometimes you feel like you’re slow and the next thing you know you feel like you’re fast. We got back to the front though it’s still a long way to go." Source: Cadillac Racing
