Miller Barrett Racing - Rolex 24 18h

The Miller Barrett Racing team spent much of the third quarter of the Rolex
24 At Daytona in the garage. The team's No. 48 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car was
back on track after replacement of the front brake pads, right-front
radiator and nose at 12h, but the respite didn't last long. The car was back
in the garage at 13h21 for a gearbox replacement, which was followed by a
starter wire repair. Peter Ludwig replaced Hines behind the wheel, then
tangled with a Daytona Prototype, forcing an early pitstop for repairs. At
the 18-hour mark, Ludwig was 19th in the GT class.

Peter Ludwig:  "What an agonizing evening - alternator, battery, crankcase.
But we're getting good times now; the car is nice and straight and running
well. I wish we were on the podium, but maybe next year ..."
