Fernando Alonso and his Wayne Taylor Racing team mates were running strong in the Rolex 24 over fourteen hours into the endurance classic at the wheel of their #10 Konica Minolta Cadillac DPi-V.R.
The crew held its own in the opening hours of the race on Saturday before Alonso put in a 'master class' stint that put the Cadillac into the lead.
Thanks to a succession of fastest laps, and displaying the skills of a seasoned sports car driver as he negotiated traffic, the two-time F1 world champion was the class of the field.
Watching from the Wayne Taylor Racing pit, the display wasn't lost on team mate Jordan Taylor who offered a few words of praise on Twitter.
This @alo_oficial guy seems alright. #Rolex24

With a little over nine hours to go, the #10 Cadillac was in command, but with a furious three-car pack snapping at his heels, with the top four cars on the same lap. And rain to contend with. Stay tuned...
