Their return to the track is not just a comeback; it’s a critical moment for the team as they strive to gain valuable insights and improve their performance ahead of the season opener. Meanwhile, heavyweights like Aston Martin and Cadillac are under pressure to ramp up their lap counts, particularly after finishing with some of the lowest totals during the initial shakedown runs.
