Team Quebec driver Lance Stroll will start 6th on the Daytona 24 Hours starting grid, the first round of the North American Endurance Season (IMSA)
The No. 37 Oreca driven by Robin Frijns finished 6th in the qualifying session. Frijns and Stroll are part of the team of well-known actor Jackie Chan.
Two other team-mates will be working with Frijns and Stroll in Daytona, Sweden's Felix Rosenqvist (former Stroll team-mate in F3) and Spaniard Daniel Juncadella, who placed sixth in the third free practice session at night.
"I had been here two years ago, I really enjoyed driving for Chip Ganassi. So, I really wanted to participate again, he said in a press conference.
"It feels good to find a steering wheel. It's a long race, and lots of things can happen. I'm ready. "
Another guest from F1, Spanish rider Fernando Alonso finished the qualifying session at 13th place in the No. 23 Ligier of the United Autosport team.
He himself drove the car for the qualification and will have the honor to perform the first relay.
In addition to the Prototype category (P), two other categories participate in the race (GTLM and GTD), with different cars, a little slower.
In the GTD category, we find the SunEnergy1 Racing team in which Quebecer Mikaël Grenier will drive the Mercedes-Benz AMG-GT3.
