| 2014 Laguna Seca: Results | |

| Round 4 of the Tudor Championship brings us to Monterey, CA at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Corvette Racing has had a lot of success here in the past, including winning the last 2 years in a row.
Track time was very limited and the 2 practice sessions were combined with all 4 classes (55 cars on a 2.2 mile track). Qualifying was the only open track time everyone had, and Antonio Garcia put the #3 Corvette on pole, and Oliver Gavin placed the #3 Corvette P4.
Race day had 2 split races to make more room on the track and on pit lane (PC/GTD & P/GTLM). Both Corvettes ran a flawless race from the team's perspective. Despite the competition being hot on the tails of the #3, Garcia/Magnussen managed to lead nearly the entire race and came home with their second victory in a row. The #4 Corvette of Milner and Gavin were mere seconds behind in the freight train of GTLM cars until Gavin was assaulted by the #55 BMW and was spun in turn 2 with only minutes left in the race. This not only pushed the #4 Corvette down the order but also served the #55 BMW a penalty, allowing the #56 BMW (on much fresher tires) to charge through the field and ultimately finish on the podium. The #4 Corvette finished P5 after a post-race penalty to the #911 Porsche for not playing nice with the #56 BMW....ironic.
