 Good results in racing are usually hard to come by for rookies to a new car, but apparently Flying Lizard didn't get that memo. In the team's first outing in a Daytona Prototype, Porsche factory driver, Joerg Bergmeister, grabbed on the pole for Saturday's twice around the clock enduro with a record setting 1:40.099 laptime.

Before setting the pole time, Bergmeister and the team were ready to call it a day, but the veteran German racer decided to take one more lap. "I went for it. I risked everything,and it worked out perfectly" Bergmeister said." I knew we have a great car and a great engine, but I was really surprised to win the pole - with the team running the DP for the first time. I was hoping to qualify in the top five."

In GT, Dominik Farnbacher set the pace with a 1:48.781 laptime in the #67 TRG Porsche 911
