I would also add that because this is an endurance race it's possible that the FT86 driver was operating under a fuel and/or brake conserve strategy...been there, done that...it's almost harder than driving 10/10th becuase you instinctively want to be racing with everyone around you and have to remember to dial it back a notch or two.
