Della Lana GT stands ninth in driver points, only 21 points from the leaders separating him.
Teammates Joey Hand finished seventeenth and Michael Marshal an electrical gremlin Slowed after the new No. 93 M3 and dropped them down the running order.

One of the cares they are leaving many drivers neglect, or simply unaware, is the fact periodically review the level of tire pressure, which can help us save some money in their spending on gasoline.
At its headquarters in Ohio, Goodyear, one of the largest companies in the manufacture of tires, has studied for years in a system called ATM, or Air Maintenance Technology, a system that maintains accurate and correct pressure of the tire without that inflames us.
As we indicated earlier, the system that enables this feature is ingenious, and consists of a sort of small pump housed inside the wheel, the movement of the car runs the same tire inflating proportionally, making us forget that we must do that review.
As for his possible departure date, it is estimated those not more than three years for its first marketing. This would be of first entry into the U.S. market with the potential to be in the Latin American market in five years.
To remember certain details that we forget, let them then a little care guide we have with our tires:
Recommendations – Tire Care:
• Tires and like every place, age over time, and in this case, contact with oil or brake fluid or liquid fuels.
Therefore, do not use more than 5 years but have had little mileage.
• The life of the tires is about 50 thousand to 70 thousand miles.
• The driving fast and in a way, sports gradually degrade the life of the product.
• Be wary and just look at the price, pay careful attention to quality and the dimensions thereof.
• Avoid pressure checked them frequently and always, always cold, i.e. when the vehicle has at least one hour in the shade.
• Do not make abrupt braking too frequently, because the area where is located the tire tends to wear more than others.
