24 hours of Daytona –
- Ellis– P3 I got in the car with about six hours left. We were already in P3 at that point and had a very uneventful race in the fog. Stay dry the whole time I ran two double stents took a break and then another double stent.
- Chris – P15: I had a great experience all week. It was fun to get practice and to bond with teammates. I got to race in the rain for the first time at 1am est to 4am and absolutely loved it. I wanted to bring the car back with 0x added but had two fender benders. This is my second 24, first finish, and I can’t wait until next year. Proud of the resiliency of this group.
- William- P3. GRR team of 4. Did the 7AM EST timeslot. Started P15, was P6 by the time I got in the car for my first stint. Team of 4 did double stints, 1 guy couldn’t race during day, one at night. Pretty clean race overall. Got punted off in the horseshoe early on but no damage and not much spot lost. Started raining in my second stint, rained for a couple hours then dried. Then rained again all night long. We did fine in the rain, and I understand its a part of racing, but kinda disappointed in the amount when i’ve talked to other timeslots that didn’t have any at all. We were P2 at one point chasing the leaders, but had a slight mishap with the inside pit wall about 16 hours in. 6 min repairs, dropped to 6 but recovered to podium P3.
- Tyler – P15 in class and P25 overall. Spent a week practicing for this event only for half of it to be wet. Disappointed by the weather forecast but had a great time with the GT3 team. Rain and multi class racing was a major challenge but the best 24 yet. I’m ready for the next one.
- Brad – P15 Can’t say enough about the team’s effort this past weekend. The race did not go the way that we planned. Almost half was in the rain (on a 25% forecast). The guys stepped it up and overcame many challenges. Did we make mistakes? Yes, did we learn? Yes and we will be better prepared for the next one.
GT4
- Donnie S – GT4 Challenge Barcelona – P6 and P17 GT4/LMP3 Barcelona – P7 and 3
M2
- Ellis– P qualified P4 finish P2 made a couple mistake mistakes. I probably could’ve won it.
- Qualified second
- New track Winton motor raceway. Qualified third got dumped in the first turn on the first lap fell back to the end and finish P 10.
- X-ray qualified for
IMSA
- Brad W – P11 (GTD-Nurburgring) Last car in top split. I like this track but I can’t find speed here. I’m normally 1-1.5 off the fast guys but this weeks it’s closer to 3 seconds. Honestly a p11 was better than what I deserved.
- William W- P9 Daytona day after 24 and the only race I did this week besides the 24. Only car under 2.3K in this field. Hard race but rewarding keeping pace with with 2.6k drivers. Higher split helped as I was able to get my race pace down to the low to mid 44s, was only able to get to that in qualifying before.
