| 2014 Watkins Glen: Results | |
|
|  | | July 01 2014 12:50:26 AM EST | |
| Corvette Racing has never been to Watkins Glen in their 15 years of racing.
While the team was in France for the 24hrs of Le Mans, most of the other GTLM teams were at WGI testing. Meanwhile Corvette Racing had less than 2 weeks to ship the cars back to Pratt & Miller, rebuild the cars, and arrive at WGI for the weekend.
Qualifying: Top 9 in GTLM covered 1 second. #3 Corvette was P2, and the #4 Corvette was P7.
Race: After 2 laps, Jan Magnussen put the #3 Corvette C7.R into the lead.....and never looked back. The #3 car lead nearly flag to flag to take their 3rd victory in a row.
Tommy Milner in the #4 Corvette drove from 7th on the grid to 2nd within the first 5 min of the race. The pair lead the the race 1-2 for 5 hours until the #4 Corvette was called into the penalty box for a stop and go, pushing them down to 4th.
The penalty was originally a stop plus hold for 70 seconds, but it was under review for over an hour. After a full driver stint, the call was made for the stop and go penalty, killing the #4 car's race. The incident in question was questionable at best, and did not deserve a penalty. See for yourself. The pass happenes after 8:00.
