April 28, 2012 (Homestead, Fl)- For the first stime since June of 2010, Magnus Racing will start from pole position at tomorrow’s Grand Prix of Miami at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
By GRAND-AM rule, if a session must be cancelled due to torrential rains, the series reverts to points from the previous round. As the current Rolex Sports Car Series GT leaders, the no. 44 Flex-Box Magnus Racing Porsche GT3 Cup car was awarded first following the series decision to cancel today's session..
“It will be really nice to start from pole,” stated John Potter, who will be on pole for the first time in his GRAND-AM career. “A clear track in what will likely be wet conditions will be crucial, so it will be a nice little advantage to have.”
With tomorrow’s race-day forecast showing similar conditions to today, Magnus Racing has high hopes for a strong result. With inclement weather on the cards, strategy, tire management and driver patience will be critical for both Potter and teammate Andy Lally.
The Grand Prix of Miami will take place tomorrow, Sunday, April 29. Live coverage will be featured on SPEED at 1PM ET
