Having previously competed in LMP1, LMP2, GT and GTC – Leitzinger lines up with PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports this weekend aboard an LMPC machine for the first time.

He held off Gunnar Jeannette’s CORE autosport entry with the Kyle Marcelli entry only fractions of a second behind.

The entire top four of the LMPC grid were covered by only 0.138 of a second.
