The first Le Mans Prototype Challenge fast lap at Road America belongs to CORE Autosport, as the current points leader topped the speedcharts during Thursday's (August 18) test session for the four-hour Time Warner Cable Road Race Showcase, Round Six of the 2011 American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón.
Gunnar Jeannette and fellow CORE Autosport racer Frankie Montecalvo were separated by 0.297 seconds when the lone session on day one concluded. Jeannette, who will drive the No. 06 ORECA FLM09 with Ricardo Gonzalez, turned a lap of 2:00.063 (121.376 mph) to lead testing. Before making a trip to the turn nine gravel, Montecalvo entered a time 2:00.360 (121.077 mph) to go second quick on the speedcharts. The placement of the car necessitated a red flag on the session, but damage to the No. 05 ORECA FLM09 Montecalvo shares with Jon Bennett was minimal. Third-quickest in LMPC was Rudy Junco, who turned a lap of 2:00.528 (120.908 mph) in PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports' ORECA LMP09, which he will share with Butch Leitzinger on Saturday.
The first official practice run for the LMPC cars and the rest of the ALMS field at Road America weekend is scheduled for Friday at 9:20 a.m. local time. Qualifying begins at 3:10 p.m.
The top-three will be posted following every session on the ESR Facebook page and ESR Twitter page.
