Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Now we have our LMP2 winners, Paul Di Resta, Rasmus Lindh and Daniel Goldburg.

Q. Dan, start us off. When you won Daytona, it was different circumstances. How big was it to get one on the road here in front of everybody today?

DANIEL GOLDBURG: Yeah, it was pretty big. All of us doing our job and the team doing their job and us getting to celebrate as a team together in pit lane and in the podium properly, definitely feels good.

Q. Rasmus, it was obviously changing conditions, very difficult from wet to then hot. Tell us about that and what it means to you to win at Watkins Glen International.

RASMUS LINDH: Yeah, it started to rain in the beginning with Dan. So I went out, it was starting to dry. But yeah, we finished here in LMP3 before, me and Dan, third, so it feels great, especially with this crew. Yeah, amazing.

Q. Paul, can you take us through that closing sequence, especially some battles with the No. 99 and some others? Just talk about that and your win here.

PAUL DI RESTA: Nice to get it done. I think on the back of a big break and a difficult end to Sebring, it was job done. We've come here, it's been a difficult weekend, actually, but we re-baselined ourselves this morning, went with something that we trusted and knew, and credit to have that structure there behind us.

I think everybody did their job. We had one hiccup in a pit stop, a wheel nut which put us back in the queue, but we fought our way through steadily and controlled it at the end.

Very nice to get it done. More importantly, I think it just sets us up to go into a busy time. Dan has obviously got the race in Canada, which I won't be joining him, but momentum is on sight. Hopefully he'll go there and win and then on to Road America and try and do what we can there.

But it's nice to enjoy events like this on the back of everybody tired on the back of Le Mans. Tough conditions, and Sunday nights are a bit sweeter when they're like that.

Q. Can you talk about maybe putting Le Mans in the rear view mirror in a good way here?

PAUL DI RESTA: Definitely. Le Mans was not easy on my side. I made a small driving error, but equally as a team, we struggled there. To come here and United to be able to give me a car that can fight, that can pass, I managed to make some good moves. I had to make some good moves to get our car forward. Those moves were clinical and crucial to get to the front.

And fortunately we finished it off. It's nice. It's always a lottery here. I never quite understand with all the yellows and how they work, and sometimes how unlucky you can be, but today it worked.

Q. Dan, as he referenced, next race is CTMP. You go in there as the championship leader. How do you guys attack it and how do you preserve that?

DANIEL GOLDBURG: Just like every race, I think we put our head into it and focus. I think we'll be announcing my co-driver there in the coming weeks here, and I've got a great driver that will be there with me. We'll give it everything, try to maintain the lead we have.

Q. Daniel, that first stint, was that the toughest conditions you've ever driven in as a professional racing driver?

DANIEL GOLDBURG: It's up there. It was a lot going on. At one point just keeping the car on the track and the heavy downpour on slicks under yellow was a challenge in and of itself. It reminded me last year when a lot of people went off. Two restarts in mixed conditions, and on the slicks in the beginning with the rain coming down, it was a lot thrown at me, and I was really happy to pull it off, basically.

Q. Would you have preferred that they were red or opened up the pit lane so people could switch to wet tires quicker, or would you have left it the same?

DANIEL GOLDBURG: As a driver, we just take what they throw at us. I don't really have an opinion on how they run the race there. I just tackled the conditions they threw at us and felt good that I took it well.

THE MODERATOR: One change for this year, you can pit for wets as an emergency service. You can't go from wets to dries, but you can go from dries to wets if you need them.
