We&#8217;ve had strong cars and the team&#8217;s been executing well, things haven&#8217;t quite been going our way. But we&#8217;re the only ones that knew it. Today, I was really proud of the team. They responded to the &#8216;Jaws music&#8217; and the pressure by executing perfectly. The car was dominant. Everyone at HPD and Acura worked really hard between the races to give us the best possible engine control and power. The No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 boys changed the car from the traditional setup. We made lots of developments. The car was creative and well-thought-out, and it showed on track today. This is one of those wins that we have to remember and strive to repeat in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"xn-person\">Andy Lally<\/span> <\/b>(#44 Magnus with Archangel NSX GT3 Evo) <b>finished ninth: <\/b>&#8220;Our Acura NSX was really good today!
