Renger van der Zande, who with co-driver Jordan Taylor is looking to score the team’s fifth Detroit victory in the last six years this weekend, clocked a fast lap of 1 minute, 22.273 seconds at 102.828 mph during a slightly shortened qualifying session around the 2.36- mile, 13-turn temporary street circuit due to a red-flag stoppage. It was good for seventh among the 26 car-and-driver combinations that will take the green flag for Saturday’s one-hour, 40 minute sprint race. “It’s been a rough day – we’ve been chasing the setup a little bit over the bumps here but, for qualifying we made a very good step forward,” said van der Zande, the Dutch driving veteran who scored back-to-back LMPC-class wins here with the Starworks Motorsport team in 2015 and 2016.

  • Fastest Race Lap and Another Top Ten for Goikhberg and Simpson
    Fastest Race Lap and Another Top Ten for Goikhberg and Simpson Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio 2018 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship No. 99 GAINSCO Auto Insurance®/JDC-Miller MotorSports/ORECA/Gibson May 7, 2018 The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship returned to the rolling hills of central Ohio for the first time in five years last weekend, when they raced at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course outside of Columbus. It was a good weekend for the No.99 GAINSCO Auto Insurance®/ORECA, as they earned their third 7th place finish of the season at Mid-Ohio. The weekend kicked off with scattered thunderstorms and near flooding conditions in various parts of the track. The conditions eventually shortened Friday practice substantially when the IMSA Stewards decided to throw the red flag as stream of water flowed over the track and the pit lane turned into a near river. Fortunately for the JDC-Miller MotorSports crew, they completed a two-day test at Mid-Ohio immediately after Long Beach last month. Mother Nature wasn’t any more cooperative then, as it snowed during the test, but they did end up logging 150 miles which proved to be very helpful during the rain shortened weekend. Conditions improved on Saturday, and Misha Goikhberg qualified the Red Dragon™, earning the team’s best qualifying result of the season. Goikhberg was on pace immediately and steadily set times good enough for the top five throughout the session. Although Goikhberg was eventually bumped to the 8th starting position, it was a solid result. Thunderstorms were predicted again on Sunday, but it turned out to be the best weather over the course of the weekend.

The Advent Health 120 at Sebring International raceway proved Audi is a strong competitor in both the GS and TCR classes. Teams and drivers continue to gain valuable championship points through the second race of the season. The Audi RS LMS returned to the Michelin Pilot Challenge with Carbahn Motorsports qualifying on pole position for the start of the two-hour Advent Health 120. The GS class defending champions bested the 2nd place qualifier by .523 seconds with a formidable performance from McQuarrie behind the wheel of the 5.2l VlO mid-engine race car. McQuarrie started the Advent Health 120 at Sebring International Raceway and pushed hard to hold the lead for a major portion of his first stint. After a long weather delay, the #39 car slipped to third place prior to handing the car over to co-driver JeffWestphal. Without the customary pre-race warm-up, Westphal was driving the car for the first time on Friday but this did not deter the 2019 Driver Champion and last year's Sebring winner. As the heat began to warm the tires, Westphal started to gain ground against the competitive GS field.

  • Michelin's Endurance Racing Tyres Contribute to Entertaining 4 Hours Of
    MEDIA INFORMATION 2019/2020 FIA World Endurance Championship Round 3: 4 Hours of Shanghai Michelin’s endurance racing tyres contribute to entertaining 4 Hours of Shanghai Round 3 of the 2019/2020 FIA World Rally Championship was won by the N°1 Rebellion R13 of Bruno Senna/Gustavo Menezes/Norman Nato who started China’s round of the FIA WEC from pole position after topping Saturday’s qualifying on Michelin rubber. Second and third were the similarly Michelin-equipped N°8 and N°7 Toyota TS050 Hybrids in the hands of Mike Conway/Kamui Kobayashi/Jose María López and Sébastien Buemi/Kazuki Nakajima/Brendon Hartley respectively. In contrast, the French firm’s LMP2 partners were down on luck in Shanghai. The class’s pole-winning N°42 ORECA 07-Gibson of Cool Racing, Lapierre/Borga/Coigny was halted by Race Control after suffering an electronics problem, while the N°22 United Autosports car of Hanson/Albuquerque/Di Resta lost power after debris got blocked in the air intake of its engine, eliminating it from the scrap for victory. Despite an unscheduled pit stop to cure the problem on Lap 8, it still completed the distance in third place – just 21 seconds short of the winner – to showcase the potential of its Michelin rubber both in qualifying and on race day. The LMGTE Pro class was topped by the N°92 Porsche 911 RSR of Christensen/Estre, ahead of Bruni/Lietz’s N°91 sister car and Aston Martin Racing’s N°97 Vantage AMR (Lynn/Martin). The LM GTE Am order was topped by the N°90 TF Sport-run Aston Martin Vantage AMR of Eastwood/Yoluc/Adam, ahead of the N°57 Porsche 911 RSR (PROJECT 1, Keating/Ten Voorde/Bleekemolen) and the Aston Martin Racing-tended N°98 Vantage AMR (Dalla Lana/Turner/Gunn).
