Gil de Ferran and the de Ferran Motorsports No. 66 Acura continue to impress. In only their third race ever, the team has managed to secure pole position for the race this weekend after setting the fastest pace in practice and now qualifying. The Patron Highcroft Acura will sit opposite the No. 66 on the front row, which means an all Acura front row at Mid-Ohio. Certainly will be interesting to watch de Ferran Motorsports over the coming weeks and months to see if (or when) they can earn their first overall victory.
It's a good time to look back to only two years ago, when Audi was dominating every single event on the schedule. How times have changed; each race now sees numerous Acuras and Porsches competing for the top podium spot with Audi. The parody certainly helps increase an already-exciting series, luring in more casual fans with the promise of exciting finishes and a variety of overall winners.
