Action Express Cadillac, Pipo Derani, Alexander Sims claim season championships in GTP class.
The Petit Le Mans is known for surprise endings and this year’s race had several.In the first unexpected development, the Acura team of Meyer Shank Racing, down two laps at one point, won the 10-hour event with an ambitious pass by Colin Braun at Turn 1 and an energy gamble, running one hour and 21 minutes after its final pit stop with the help of three full-course cautions.
Judging by an infield jammed with cars with nary a parking space and a packed amphitheater at Turn 10, it was the one of the biggest turnouts in the Petit’s 26-year history. The track shut down infield parking two hours after the start of the race.“Some of these guys don’t know how to drive side-by-side,” said Andy Lally, whose Aston Martin Vantage GT3 of Magnus Racing was knocked out of contention.
