Welcome to the fabled Laguna Seca Raceway on the Monterey peninsula in Monterey, California. This is round three of the 2022 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge championship. Two hours of production sports car racing is about to get underway. Race number three is ready. 2005 was the first Michelin Pilot Challenge event here at a legendary racetrack that has been around since 1957. The season is still young. and we have not seen a pattern yet. But we see a driver like Ted Giovannis, at age 76, is the points leader. Races will be coming more frequently now. Bryan Herta Autosport has half of the TCR field but have not won yet. We have seen Alfa and Honda win the opening two races at Daytona and Sebring. 41 cars in today's field.
Robert Wickens, because of finesse, has struggled to find the zone with his hand controls and they had a braking issue in qualifying. They will start caboose on the grid. We have Dave Burns and Calvin Fish commentating from the booth today, with pit reporters Parker Kligermann and Matt Yocum. Bill Auberlen and Dillon Machavern in the #95 Turner Motorsports BMW M4 GT4, they want to go for the win today after not being able to get the job done here last fall. Mario Andretti, Bobby Rahal, and Wayne Rainey are names celebrated here. Watch the action through the infamous Corkscrew and also through the final turn at turn 11. The cars are formed up for the start. Low grip, high tire degradation.
Kenton Koch is a fill-in for Jeff Mosing who has a broken rib and is healing up. Get well soon, Jeff. Alexandre Premat outside the front row. Green flag. Koch leads the motor race. The Porsche has the advantage as Koch runs wide and here comes Hugh Plumb already in this two-hour race, and Kenny Murillo is also coming in a hurry in the second Murillo Racing Mercedes AMG GT4. #09, the Aston Martin is off the road with Ramin Abdulvahabi at the wheel of it. A tad of argy bargy and some class crossover betweent the end of GS and the beginning of TCR. Koch leads the motor race over Alexandre Premat and Hugh Plumb.
TCR action hot and heavy as well, look as we see mad scramble here with the end of the GS field. A.J. Muss and Michael Johnson are battling and here is Rory van der Steur actually going for it along with Muss and Johnson as the tires come into their own. The infield has no camber. It is flat as a pancake. We have just started this race on the central coast here in California. 2006 is when this place was last repaved. This could be a race of either one or two pit stops. Chris Miller in the #17 JDC-Miller Motorsports Audi RS3 LMS TCR, he is trying to pass Kyle Washington in the #32 GMG Racing Porsche Cayman in GT4.
A pit lane visit for TGM and the Porsche. Now, was that a penalty? Was it a scheduled pit stop? We are still fllowing Chris Miller as he has a second and a half lead on the #98 Hyundai of Harry Gottsacker. Gottsacker sharing with Parker Chase in the Elantra N TCR. We ride onboard with the #1 Hyundai Elantra now, Taylor Hagler at the wheel of it, sharing with Michael Lewis. The Honda Civic's are beginning to come to the fore and they want to get into it with the Hyundai's as we also see the Alfa Romeo moving up. Audi has the advantage right now and are at the top of the shop in TCR. But it is early doors as we are just ten minutes into the motor race.
Koch, Premat, Plumb, Murillo, Mars, the leaders in Grand Sport. So, that means we have a battle on between Mercedes, Porsche, and one of the Ford Mustang's. Mercedes AMG GT4's, Porsche Cayman GT4's. TCR strategy we are going to see tire degradation play a major factor compared to fuel mileage and slicing the cake. #17 is skipping away and they are in good shape on tire management with a one stop race for fuel. Again, argy bargy between Roy Block and Taylor Hagler. That is the Alfa Romeo and Hyundai kerfuffle. Do not abuse your tires. Make those Michelin's last.
You won't be too worried about fuel. The time delta down the lane is short here at Laguna Seca compared to other tracks. The yellow flags will tell the story as the calculators are on fire right now with the engineers crunching the numbers. Whoa! Some argy bargy with two of the BMW's as Vinnie Barletta crunches into Sean Quinlan. Kyle Raineri in a spot of bother with some contact in the #18 CB Motorsports Hyundai Veloster. The tire popped off the rim on the car he shares with Caleb Bacon, the team boss, who's dad Al Bacon was a legendary GT driver in IMSA. Jeff Mosing cracked a rib by having argy bargy of his own, docking his jet ski.
Kenny Murill is all over the tail of Matty Plumb as Ted Giovanis had to take a drive through penalty. Murillo gives Plumb room out of The Corkscrew. Giovannis was pinged because he crossed lanes before getting to the start/finish line. That is a no-no. Christian Szymczak who is Kenny Murillo's co-driver really did a good job in qualifying. These two won a GT4 championship in SRO last year with this same team. We have also been covering GT4 in SRO here on the blog as you have read. Now then, the Murillo team understand the deal with owning a team after being drivers. Roy van der Steur, Victor Gonzalez, and A.J. Muss, they are all scrapping. Two Hyundai Veloster's and a Honda Civic.
Fender damage on one of the cars. Keep the welly in it and stay out of the sand. Roy Block goes to fifth, down The Corkscrew. Alfa have won at Road America which was last summer and at Daytona back in January to start this season. Muss, a former Olympic snowboarder aboard the #2 Elantra sharing with Ryan Norman. Alan Brynjolfsson is pressing Mike McCann Jr. for tenth place. Porsche Cayman vs. Aston Martin Vantage. Volt Racing vs. McCann Racing. Cars #7 and #8. Situations and circumstances how you will play the cards during this motor race. That is how every race, no matter the track, no matter the cars, works.
Whoops! We have a car off the road and into the gravel trap. This is the #21 Toyota Supra GT4 for Riley Motorsports and Bluff City Racing. Now then, a scrum in progress here, look between BMW and Porsche, and it is pit stop time for the TCR JDC-Miller Audi, car #17. #21 is beached in the gravel and well and truly. He is buried up to the axles. Into the lane here too is the aforementioned #5 Alfa Romeo, I think. Ah. Full Course Yellow, Full Course Yellow. Poor old Anton Dias Perera needs to be rescued, sharing that car with Scott Andrews.
Here's it all again in slow motion and he got off in the gravel trap, tagged the wall, and spun out. The track marshals from the AMR safety team come o the resuce and will clear the Supra out of the kitty litter. Kenton Koch is your leader and we have not seen much change yet. Mercedes, Porsche, Ford, Toyota, BMW, Aston Martin, are the top Grand Sport players as we have been racing for just over 20 minutes. Dias Perera may have had a cut tire and he reported to the team he was coming to the pit lane but never appeared. Something definitely broke on the car. Glad to see him walk away. But it is game over for Perera and Andrews.
A few drivers decided to hit the pit lane just before the yellow and we'll see what that does to shuffle the deck in the running order. It is that candy dish. Blend through assorted car brands and/or assorted flavors of jellybeans, and you never quite know what you will get. So, a sole Toyota Supra shall remain in this race as it looks to be game over for #21. They will have to wait for another race to show what they've got. Wholesale pit stops for GS and the pit lane is jammed with teams and cars with tire changes and fuel taking place very early in the game. We are not even half an hour into this motor race yet and the strategy play is to get fresh tires and loaded up with fuel early in the going.
Then there will be one more round of wholesale stops before the end. That is what makes Michelin Pilot Challenge so fascinating to watch. As we know, in other forms of GT4 and TCR racing in different series, some of the races are a lot shorter, or the GT4 and TCR machines are included in grids with GT3 cars for long distance events. To the lane, the TCR entrants led by a couple of the factory Hyundai's of which there are six or so with Bryan Herta Autosport. Fuel and tires for all of them. One of them is going to get away before the rest of the TCR's here. You can see that the TCR machines have a central mounted wheel but with five individual lug nuts instead of one central locking nut. That is how TCR and GT4 work.
In the WeatherTech Championship, those cars have central locking wheels just like we see with the new generation NASCAR Cup cars this year. It looks like everybody is in line now and we are getting close to a restart minus one car of course of the 41 starters. The top 11 cars in Grand Sport elected to stay out. Murillo and TGM had to split their strategies including TGM Porsche and team manager, Joe Varde, a former driver. Some of the other teams are slicing the cake into 45-minute blocks. Victor Gonzalez leads TCR in Honda #99 who is on a different strategy, doing one stop. Low grip, don't chase the power, and save fuel. Sheena Monk, in the Ford Mustang, car #877. She is a snowboarder, a golfer, a basketball fan, and has three dogs.
Monk and Marcelli are going with the Ford Mustang GT4 after their Toyota Supra was absolutely obliterated in an accident. Mason Filippi in the Hyundai also had to change back to the Veloster. No new Elantra's were available from Europe where they also race in TCR competition over there. Sheena Monk has run a McLaren 570S GT4, to a Toyota Supra GT4, and now to a Ford Mustang GT4. Tough to go through three different cars in a short time period. Well, well, well. The Mercedes will have a few Porsche's right on his six. Giovannis gets dropped as James Pesek who won with Chad McCumbee at Sebring.
Alan Brynjolfsson wants a bite of the cherry but can he get it? Yes. Poor old Ted Giovannis is dropping like a stone. There is the #69 Absolute Racing Porsche Cayman, Anderson Tanoto at the wheel of it. We saw him last weekend at Sonoma Raceway here in California in SRO GT4. Oh criminy! Sheena mMonk has spun in The Corkscrew! Is she dead in the water? Wait for the field to go by and she has sunk down to the bottom fo the field as there's a three-four wide mess out of turn 11! Holy mackerel! Monk has started the car and she is able to use gravity to free herself from the sand. Maybe she stalled. In replay, Tanoto was too aggressive and spun Monk out.
Anderson, calm down, sunshine. In 2018, Sheena Monk had a massive accident here, nose first and a somersault in a Lamborghini Super Trofeo car! That looks ugly! Kenny Murillo leads the motor race by 2.6 seconds over Hugh Plumb, James Pesek, and the rest. Alfredo JNajri had some contact there with Tanoto. Elbows out. Muscle your way around this legendary circuit at Laguna Seca. That's the way to play the game, sunshine. Speaking of games, more sports car fun and frolics down through The Corkscrew. Now then, BMW on Mercedes and an old rivalry bubbling up again. Turner vs. Murillo. Speaking of Turner, the other blue and yellow BMW M4 is in the pit lane.
The battle of the Hyuundai's also resumes up the hill they go, up the Rahal straightaway and back into The Corkscrew again One of the Honda's looks like he's lost spots. That may be Victor Gonzalez from the look of it. In replay, ah, he ran in way tdeep and cut the downhill of The Corkscrew across the sand. That was a hold onto your hat moment. In the lane now, look, is the #93 CarBahn with Peregrine Racing Porsche Cayman. We will check that one in a moment as more passes go down through The Corkscrew. #93 is being shared by Sameer Ghandi and Tyler McQuarrie. Laguna Seca, the dry lake bed, since the 1950s, has been a great track here in Salinas, California, and the local council has voted for more money to keep upgrading the circuit including new pavement in the not too distant future.
We will see resurfacing next year in 2023. At the front, Murillo leads Plumb by 4.5 seconds. Gonzalez missed his braking point, and he will turn the care over soon, to co-driver Karl Wittmer. Crunching fuel numbers, you can go past the halfway mark on fuel, 60 minutes plus. Don't bank on a yellow. Have flexibility on your fuel even if your tires get ratty. Roy Block tries it on Chris Miller, late in the turn. Block is going to push on the inside to turn six, and bish, bash, bosh, he makes the pass up the Rahal straightaway and down again through The Corkscrew. Victor Gonzalez is clawing his way back, look.
Turn into the corner but don't leave it too late and here comes Robert Wickens in the #33 Hyundai, fighting his way up the order with 50 minutes on the board. So ten minutes before halfway. Gonzalez slams the door in Wickens' face. But then, he pays the price and spins off into the sand. In replay, Gonzalez gets frazzled, giving Miller a tap, and then, into the next turn, it just was not on and he spun off the road. Wickens gets the traction and he is going to pass Chris Miller for third, or will he? Miller wants it. Wickens holds it to the inside and his team mate goes with him. Harry Gottsacker follows Wickens through.
In TCR, the discussion point is all the contact. Oh boy. #69 off the road and that is Anderson Tanoto again. Jeepers creepers! He has been in the wars today so far. Let the boys and girls have at it for hard racing, but there is a line that has to be drawn with a thick black marker to say, "ladies and gentlemen, take it easy." Pit lane will be closed when we go to yellow so the TCR boys and girls are in the lane for service and driver changes. Taylor Hagler hands over to Michael Lewis. They have had two runner up finishes after their 2021 championship. Anderson Tanoto is being rescued. Tanoto, from Jakarta, Indonesia. In replay, he has the TCR Audi right bahind and got biffed by the #15 Audi who dove super late into the turn.
That #15 entry is the #15 Belgrade & Techniseal Racing Audi RS3 with the DSG gearbox for Eric Rockwell and former Hyundai driver, Denis Dupont. That is the only DSG Audi in the field and we see a couple more with sequential gearboxes. Now, trouble in paradise here for the Porsche? The #46 Cayman is in the lane maybe for regular service, but it is hard to say as the marshals, rescue Anderson Tanoto. Will they let him get back into the race? It was clear that Rockwell gave poor old Tanoto the rough end of the pineapple, and well, he is out and so is the #46. Well, #46 is not out but it will go behind the wall for the time being to affect repairs.
Porsche #46 is back in the race as we see fans watching from the very top of The Corkscrew, with then sign telling you where you are. Wholesale Grand Sport pit stops now. These are the second stops we talked about. Kenny Murillo out of #72 and he will hand over to Christian Szymczak as the refueling is taking place and the tires are being changed. Index the wheel and hit the lug nuts with the rattle gun. These rattle guns are different because of the five-lug nut wheel design. The #877 Ford Mustang just pitted and there's contact as the TGM Porsche of Matt Plumb had to get out and had contact with the TCR Hyundai! Hole in the radiator and the day is done for the TGM Porsche. We saw that in the most recent WeatherTech race at Long Beach with a pit lane scrum between Corvette Racing and the Pfaff Porsche team where the Porsche got a holed radiator and got the worst of a pit lane shemozzle.
TCR cars now in the lane for service. Feeding time for the horses out on the prairie here. Both Hyundai Elantra's in the lane for BHA and so are the others as we watch from the rear facing tail's away shot. VCMG Honda in the lane and now everyone else is bottled up at pit out like a highway traffic jam and this see the Hyundai quartet move ahead of everybody else. Past halfway in the motor race. Less than an hour to go. 55 minutes and change on the board. Some shuffling at the top of the shop in Grand Sport, look. Now into the lane, the #09 Aston Martin for Automatic Racing. These boys are off sequence on their pit stops. Fuel, tires, and a driver change should see Rob Ecklin getting into the car.
The order in Grand Sport has shuffled with Trent Hindman's Aston Martin ahead of Jason Hart's Porsche Cayman with Bill Auberlen and Robby Foley in the BMW's, Robin Liddell in the Camaro, Tom Long in the Toyota Supra for Forbush Performance, car #6, and more taking their places. Most cars have pitted and a few are off strategy. Everyone is close. Eric Foss in the Mercedes, followed by the #14 Riley Motorsports Toyota Supra of Serge Camilo. Treent Hindman now leads. Nate Stacy in the #60 Mustang and Christian Szymczak in tenth. So, we aee going to see Owen Trinkler trying hard to get back on the lead lap as Trent Hindman leads Jason Hart.
The Turner Motorsport's BMW's are in the fight. Poor old Owen Trinkler is six laps down and will take a massive hit in the championship battle. Wide through The Corkscrew for Christian Szymczak as Chad McCumbee and Nate Stacy are pushing hard in the two Ford Mustang's for different teams. Robin Liddell making his way through in the #71 Rebel Rock Camaro who did not race on the west coast in 2021. He won in Michelin Pilot in 2015 in his championship season with Andrew Davis here in Michelin Pilot Challenge. Leading TCR, John Morley in the #61 Road Shagger Racing Audi RS3 LMS TCR. Morley is a racing instructor here at Laguna Seca sharing with Gavin Ernstone. Ernstone, the Englishman, he says the team is in good shape.
Ernstone says there's less argy bargy going on and we have seen massive melees in the past. Road Shagger Racing looking for the win. We know the BHA Hyundai team are going to push hard to give everything they have, throwing the kitchen sink at the Audi boys. Trent Hindman breaking away from Jason Hart to the tune of 2.1 seconds. 5.9 seconds between the top ten in Grand Sport/GT4. Hindman, Hart, Bill Auberlen, Robby Foley, Sergio Camilo, Eric Foss, Nate Stacy, Robin Liddell, Stevan McAleer, and Billy Johnson, the top ten.
45 minutes left on the board as Jon Morley leads his home race. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it is Honda vs. Hyundai, redux. Now, Hart into The Corkscrew is right on Auberlen's six. Did Auberlen pass for second? If so, he is 2.3 seconds in-arrears as Hindman in the Aston Martin has bolted. McCumbee and Stacy, scrapping fot tenth in Grand Sport in the battle of the Mustang's. A huge gaggle of GS cars chopping and changing through The Corkscrew. Meanwhile, we see the Porsche's crapping hard as well. Side by side stuff here, look, in GS with 42 minutes on the clock. Throw caution to the wind. Stevan McAleer is really pushing hard. Christian Szymczak has Chad McCumbee all over him like the cheap suit here.
Szymczak has moved up and we can see KohR Motorsports and both of those guys going for it. Stacy and Johnson really pushing with the oldest GT4 car in the field. That Mustang takes care of it's tires if the driver manages the Michelin's well. The Mustang is a renown muscle car, but the GT4 Mustang has boatloads of downforce and is good under braking. Oh no! Marcelli has been turned and spun off the road crashing the Mustang! Oh good grief! The JG Wentworth/PF Racing crew will be beside themselves! This is a short yellow as it is within 15 minutes of a preceeding Full Course Yellow as they pull Kyle Marcelli to a place of safety. Did he get tagged or drop a wheel off into the sand. Someone got into the back of hism, and he got turned, and... ker-runch! Straight into the wall. Not enough room and he got pinballed into the barriers.
This is a short yellow and if I were the team boss at JG Wentworth Racing with another wrecked racer, I'd be pulling me hair out. J.G. Wentworth is a cash lender. Well, these folks will need some money to try and fix this secondhand motorcar. That's for dead sure. Call your sponsor. They may be able to help. Hello? J.G. Wentworth? We need cash to fix the race car. Kyle Marcelli will check in at the care center and see how things go. Sheena Monk is frustrated and understandably so as some drivers are out here not using their heads it sounds like. Will Turner, team boss at Turner Motorsports says we won't count our chickens (or our tacos), yet. It is anyone's game. Half an hour on the board. That's it.
Green flag and Hindman lights the rocket boosters. Jason Hart lurking in third between the two BMW's and the #14 Toyota Supra is fling now too with Sergio Camilo at the wheel of it. Sorry. Thiago Camilo. Made a mistake with his name. Thiago wants by Jason Hart and now Eric Foss and Stevan McAleer both go by. McAleer is right on Foss' tail. McAleer now under fire from Billy Johnson in the Mustang! Holy smokes! It is go time, now! Push it! Hindman ahead of Auberlen by 9/10ths of a second. Hindman told to hit his marks. But he has a legend and a tough competitor in his rearview mirror. Bill Auberlen wants a title and has not had one for a long time.
John Morley and Mikey Taylor in identical Audi's. Morley has more track experience, but Taylor is pouring on the steam. This is a brand-new Audi for Road Shagger after wrecking their primary car at Daytona at the beginning of the year. Hindman now leads Auberlen by a second. The TCR battle is hot and heavy as Tyler Gonzalez now all over the back of Mikey Taylor. So the Hyundai's are coming to the fore trying to move past the Audi's as McAleer slams his way past Foss. Foss has Billy Johnson right on top of him. This is going to be a battle royale to the bitter end.
I don't know where to start. So many drivers and cars want it. How bad do you want it? McAleer is pushing Robby Foley who has Jason Hart ahead. Hart is moving ahead after having to save a splash of gas. We have seen three Full Course Yellow's in the race. Now it is time to pull the pin and go all out. Nolasport coming off a 2021 championship in SRO GT4. Bill Auberlen, meanwhile, chasing Hindman as Hart is off and so does Foss! Some feisty drivers want the glory and they are fighting hard. Jon Morley and Mikey Taylor still have their tussle going and here comes the Alfa Romeo of Tim Lewis! This is mad! Oh no. No drive for Mikey Taylor! Game over as the engine has gone bang.
Will we see another yellow? That'll put the cat among the pigeons. Something broke on the driveline of the #17 JDC-Miller Audi. A broken axle, maybe? Thank heavens Tim Lewis snuck by with no damage. Owen Trinkler also in trouble down the hill. This is the #64 TGM Porsche, the other Cayman. No fire in the belly of the beast and we have Full Course Yellow number four on the speedway here at Laguna Seca. These GT4 and TCR entries are homologated so setups can't be altered much. The temperature is cooling with the jackets coming out. The marine layer of fog is descending over the track just off the Pacific Ocean, the Monterey Peninsula. We often see that in the morning but also in the afternoon.
We will have about 15 minutes for an Old West, high noon shootout here at Laguna Seca. Use the brakes to put heat into the tires and get set to buckle down. #11 has had a quiet day. Gary Ferrera and Kris Wilson had their transporter break down, so they had to put a trailer on a dually pickup truck and travel to the track. It is cooling off big style before the end of the motor race. Two Bronze rated drivers in the #11 Capstone Motorsports Mercedes AMG GT4. Green flag. Hindman punches it and Auberlen will push from the word go. Hindman closes the door and hetre comes Robby Foley on Jason Hart! Two Turner BMW's on the podium. What can Auberlen do to pass Hindman in the Aston Martin?
Parker Chase goes off in the dust to pass Tim Lewis. Hyundai vs. Alfa Romeo in TCR. Lewis says Chase "used me up!" Big smoke for the #33 of Mark Wilkins with a tire rubbing on that Hyundai Elantra. Not a good day for the firm of Wilkins and Wickens. Wilkins to the lane as Stephen Simpson barges Denis Dupont for position. Mark Wilkins got crunched by Karl Wittmer in the Honda and that's what caused the damage and subsequently, the very expensive smoke. Hyundai in and out of the lane. Now, Morley has Parker Chase right on his six going for the win. Morley is a savvy veteran. He knows what to do. The veteran vs. the youngster.
Parker Chase raced in NASCAR Xfinity competition, so he knows how to use the chrome horn. Now, Tim Lewis Jr. flies past Chase! Yikes! Parker Chase said NASCAR had too much contact. Jon Morley wants it all. He wants the gold medal, the trophy, here at Laguna Seca. Meanwhile, it is hot and heavy in GS as one of the Turner BMW's is in the lane, the #95 of Bill Auberlen and Robby Foley. Check that. Foley is now in #96 and he just got passed by Stevan McAleer in the Porsche. A spin look, for the Hyundai Elantra. Can't see the number. Morley in lapped traffic in the Andretti Hairpin, mega crunch into the #2 Hyundai. Tim Lewis committed to the inside and tagged the #2.
Tim Lewis Jr. right on Jon Morley's six. Seven and a half minutes to go. Argy bargy everywjere as Bull Auberlen had come to the pit lane while Thiago Camilo makes a pass. For the second consecutive race at Laguna Seca, Auberlen has a flat tire! Goodness gracious! No tacos for Turner Motorsport tonight. Incident responsibility and a drive through penalty for Jon Morley! Road Shagger Racing will be gutted! Too much contact in this championship and in TCR. IMSA are going to be drawing a major line in the sand here. Too many yellows and too much anxiety during the motor races. We need more green flag action and the drivers need to chill out.
Tim Lewis Jr. will take the TCR lead over Tyler Gonzalez. Gonzalez, 17 years old, running in TCR races in 2021. He teamed up with Tyler Maxson last year. A suckerpunch for the Road Shagger Audi team who wanted a second win at Laguna Seca. Not this year. Tim Lewis Jr. leads TCR over Tyler Gonzalez as Trent Hindman is being chased down by Stevan McAleer. Volt Racing changed over to Aston Martin late in 2020. 2021 was not a good year for Hindman and Alan Brynjolfsson and they kept the same car but changed teams for this year. McAleer, the Daytona winner in Pilot Challenge, he will score a good chunk of points today, too.
Denis Dupont is chasing down Parker Chase (no pun intended), for a podium in TCR. Dupont wants it into the Andretti hairpin. He tries the crossover but no. Two minutes left on the board. Parker Chase has great car control and is not dirt tracking the car anymore. He has settled down his driving but he runs wide and Dupont has the run. Argy bargy on corner entry and ehre comes Stephen Simpsion and Simpson passes them both! Holy cow! Simpson is moving in. Parker Chase has to play catch up. Lewis Jr. leads over Gonzalez. Dupont, Simpson, Chase, that is the scrum we are watching.
Dupont might be able to pull away, but he could have damage. Hindman leads McAleer by three secnds. Final lap. Trent Hindman is going for the checkered flag and into the final turn, he does it! Volt Racing, Alan Brynjolfson and Trent Hindman are your winners! The Alfa Romeo team in TCR are going to win their second race of the year. Alfa Romeo win TCR at Laguna Seca. Dupont has a run on Gonzalez to the flag and pours on the steam for second in TCR! Holy schnikes! Dupont was almost in no man's land but outacclerates the Hyundai in TCR for second in class!
Overall/Grand Sport: #7 Brynjolfson/Hindman Volt Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT4
TCR: #5 Block/Lewis KMW Motorsports with TMR Engineering Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce TCR
Another action-packed Michelin Pilot Challenge event in the bag. Holy smokes! This racing is good! If you aren't watching IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, you are missing out of some top shelf action. Check it out. We do it all again in just two weeks with the Mid-Ohio 120 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Saturday, May 14th. Join us at Mid-Ohio. Trust me, you will not want to miss it.
