Bentley leads Daytona 24 Hours
Doran driver Ross Bentley is leading the Daytona 24 Hours endurance race, after four hours of action at the Florida track.
However, Dyson Racing driver Max Papis is hot on his heels, with less than a second between the two cars.
The Konrad Lola of Frantz Konrad, Jan Lammers and Sascha Maassen is lying third, while the No. 4 Cadillac of Eric Van de Poele, Max Angelelli and Wayne Taylor is currently fourth.
Alex Caffi spun the Risi Competizione Ferrari 333SP he is sharing with Allan McNish, Rolf Kelleners and Domenico Schiattarella on the opening lap of the race.
Scottish driver McNish also spun the car during his stint on the track, and the team has also lost time after changing the gearbox.
Cold weather is causing tyre problems, with drivers finding it difficult to heat up the rubber on a cold track.
It is thought track temperatures could dip to freezing during the night.
