GTWC America (3rd-5th May): ST Racing and Turner Motorsport celebrate class victories.
Pure joy in Florida: At the second race weekend of the Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS, BMW M Motorsport teams celebrated a class victory in both runs. In the first race at Sebring International Raceway, BMW M works driver Neil Verhagen (USA) and Samantha Tan (CAN) jumped onto the podium as third overall.
The Team ST Racing duo in the #38 BMW M4 GT3 triumphed in the Pro-Am category – even though Verhagen had to build a lead over brand colleagues from Turner Motorsport, Robby Foley and Justin Rothberg (both USA), due to a time penalty. “After the pit stop, I was on a time hunt,” explained Verhagen. “The gap I had to open was five seconds. I had Robby behind me. He also kept me on my toes.” But the lead was enough for Verhagen and Tan, who celebrated a special victory. Last year, the duo won the second race at Sebring in the Pro-Am category but had to give up the class victory afterwards due to a penalty. “This is the victory of the greatest redemption,” said Tan a year later. “We came back here to prove something. The team gave us an incredible car, and we made it. It feels really good.”
Foley and Rothberg made it a one-two result for the BMW M4 GT3 in the Pro-Am category right behind them on Saturday. A day later, the Turner Motorsport duo themselves were the measure of all things when in the second race, Foley and Rothberg triumphed in the Pro-Am category. Verhagen and Tan fought their way back impressively after a drive-through penalty in the #38 BMW M4 GT3 and crowned an outstanding weekend for the BMW M Motorsport teams at Sebring as third. “I think we showed everyone this weekend that our pace is undisputed. Thanks to my team, our fans, and BMW M Motorsport for the support,” praised Tan, who also had reason to celebrate in the Pro category. BMW M works driver Bill Auberlen and Varun Choksey (both USA) celebrated a double podium: In both races, they finished third in the #28 BMW M4 GT3 in the class.
