Lynn “heartbroken” after car issue thwarted Daytona victory shot

Lynn "heartbroken" after car issue thwarted Daytona victory shot

Lynn was confident in the wake of last weekend’s IMSA SportsCar Championship season-opener that he and team-mates Earl Bamber, Kevin Magnussen and Marcus Ericsson would have been “able to fight for the win” but for the fuel pump issues that hit their Ganassi Daytona Prototype international in the 17th hour.

“We’re all heartbroken at the team, because we had a lot of pace in our car and so did the sister car [which also encountered problems],” Lynn told Autosport.

“That’s racing and everyone has their story, but I’m really disappointed because we were up there challenging.”

“It was tough out there with 61 cars on track, but it was all about minimising mistakes and we did that.

“When the problem hit we had a clean car without any damage, so I’m sure we would have been able to fight for the win at the end.”

Lynn’s #02 Cadillac DPi-V.R led by as much as 30s in Magnussen’s hands on Sunday morning before he encountered a fuelling problem that forced him to switch to the reserve pump.
