Rolex 24: Kobayashi's Daring Move Puts WTR Cadillac in Front After 5 Hours
At the 5-hour mark of the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Kamui Kobayashi has seized the lead in the No. 40 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac V-Series.R with a daring move along the wall at Speedway Turn 1.
The race saw significant drama when Meyer Shank Racing's No. 93 Acura ARX-06, driven by Alex Palou, suffered a critical left-rear suspension failure at 4h8m, forcing a garage return with uncertain prospects of rejoining the race.
