Mike Rockenfeller started the race in the No. 24 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and drove 14 laps over 1:13:13. During the first pit stop, Jimmie Johnson replaced Rockenfeller and the car took fuel and four tires.
“It was a tricky stint with the first chicane down in Mulsanne completely wet. I just tried to make no mistakes, stay trouble free. It’s a long race so you don’t want to waste it in the first lap. The car feels good, balance-wise we have some issues because we thought it was going to rain more, so we adjusted the balance. But we will react to that later in the race and adjust tire pressure. I think the track will grip up again and I think we can go a bit faster from now on.”
