Porsche Carrera Cup North America 2024 | Race Two | Watkins Glen International | New York

BEGINS: 11AM EST 5PM CEST, SATURDAY JUNE 22 – LIVE – Porsche Carrera Cup Race One from legendary Watkins Glen International in upstate New York.

The Porsche Carrera Cup North America is a premier one-make championship with drivers competing in identical Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Type 992) race cars.

Carrera Cup races across the country at the biggest motorsport events in the USA, delivering market-leading event attendees, broadcast reach, and premium experiences for all drivers, teams, and partners involved.

The new 992 generation 911 GT3 cup car made its world competition debut in Porsche Carrera Cup North America in 2021. The spectacularly styled cup car is the first racing version based on the current 992 generation road car and the first one-make cup racer of the German sports car manufacturer to feature a wide turbo spec body.

Producing around 375 KW (510 HP), the new 911 GT3 Cup Type 992 exceeds the output of its immediate predecessor by 25 horsepower.

The series will again race at some of the biggest events on the North American racing calendar, including the 12 Hours of Sebring, Watkins Glen Six Hours, Petit Le Mans and at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Six Hours.

e [Music] very War welcome along to Watkins Glenn International a beautiful day to go motor racing and a fabulous Fister for our Porsche Carrera cup North America competitors on the Sal 6 hours of the Glenn weekend one of the blue reband events in American Motorsport and one of the must do bucket list events if you are a fan of endurance racing we’re up in the fingerlakes region of New York well about 5our drive from JFK 3.4 miles 11 Corners the tour and the heel of the boot is part of the longer Circuit of course action areas pretty much everywhere here turn one then through the s’s over the top breaking area into the in a loop not much breaking there for the Carrera cup cars then over the rise into turn number eight the right-hander before you loop back on to the shorter circuit and back through turns 10 and 11 watch your people drifting close to the wall uh on that exit of turn number 11 I’m John hindol Shay Adam is alongside me in our Global broadcast Center wherever you’re joining us from around the world for this live free broadcast good to have your company as the Porsche Carrera GTS 99 two rolls away with the fields I did mention it was the second of two races this weekend yesterday didn’t go as planned for quite a number of people in the first race of the two we had a pretty decent start from the front row the number 78 TCS car of Ryan Yardley getting the hall shot cast side by side going through and then the first of the incident with uh number 45 machine going off and then the Kenne King 74 purple and green cart brought out is the was brought out the safety C another restart another Ryan Yardley lead and then in the background going off at turn six oh what a shame for anel bonitz Jr who’d been having a good race up to that meant that we finished under checken flag uh under checked flag at yellow uh and Ryan Yardley held on and that was a good points hall for him Shay and it’s all about the uh the points for the end of the season now it is because after today’s race we are halfway through the 2024 Championship run so Ryan Yardley the young man from Christ Church to New Zealand kiwi claiming his first win on North American soil in a Porsche for the career cup North America it was a big day for him but today could be a big day for somebody else because Alex Sedwick is our poll sitter for today’s race claiming those two bonus points and it puts us in a situation of could we have yet another race winner we’ve only had one guy repeat three wins for Luke carto driver at the number 24 starting third for Kelly Moss but everybody else has been a one and done it’s Alex Sedwick who will start on poll position the red white and black PT Auto Sports jdx racing car Ryan Yardley yesterday’s winner alongside for top performance I mean no he’s a good starter and restarter Luke hartog the man who came into this weekend leading the championship in an unusual position for him because he’s not on the front row he’ll start from the inside of raw two with Zack vaner for jdx racing alongside him then Dan Clark in the brightly colored number 64 car and another easily recognizable car Michael Cooper with that purple of pink number 88 baby bull racing makes up row number three on row four Jimmy libr made the best of his qualifying yesterday after having to sit out the first session uh he’d been using series tires in a test session which effectively counts as illegal testing so he was parked for the first free practice session earlier in the week but starts from the inside of row four good recovery uh from him with limited track time Colin Kaminsky for top racing performance we’ll start on the outside of Road Number Four Sabra cook for MDK Motorsports on the inside of RW five and Elias delator the jdx makes up the top 10 which are all pro racing in the classes efred Castro is 14th in the number 65 he’ll start on pole position for proam with Pedro Torres Alan mney Jordan Wallace and Mark Lu cheron with Kenton King all Lin of St from 17th in the general classification down and in the Master’s category Richard Edge and Scott blend are together on the racetrack just one row apart the 18 car on the outside of the 11th row Ro Scott blint in the 45 who we saw going off in race one he’ll start on the inside of the next row back and Matt hulin and John GS will be at just another couple of places further Back 40 minutes on the clock time to go racing at the CL for Porche Carrera cup 2024 [Music] green flag is in the air and they head down towards the first corner and it looks like Ryan sck in the red white and black car gets the jump and he does and following him through Luke hartog makes the best of his start from row two and there’s a contact behind partway down the field and there’s a big incident right in the middle of the park this will be a red flag or a full course yellow at least and there’s at least five six seven more cars that was right in the middle middle of the of the pack there was a little touch I saw some Michelin TI smoke and we pick out some of the cars as they were going through with an very quick run into that Chris bomo is parked off on driver’s right MN Stewart is in the middle of the track moisy Championship leader coming into today’s race is stopped we’ve got the 65 also off on the side of the track as well I believe that is efon Castro yeah very much a championship Contender perennial Championship Contender let’s see if we can make sense of what happened the start was complete at the front of the field it was fine it’s about a third of the way down I just saw a puff of smoke three cars trying to go into one and that’s a heavy heavy impact there is there are at least eight cars that I’ve counted involved in that uh looks like Matt hul was involved as well in the machine and it is just cars and as soon as the wheels made contact 44 of un Bonitas is in there as well Jake Pon is the one who got spun around and thrown into the guardrail very aggressively early on mey up on two wheels at one stage and then there was subsequent contact later on that was bomo getting in there and getting Airborne over another car later on so it starts in the middle of the pack with the I think it was onel banites Jake Pon and the car that stopped further up which would be efon Castro so Angel bonitz is in the five that was the car that took the very heavy run into uh into the guard reel as did mine Stewart mine Stewart went in backwards and then there was some incidental contact after afterwards that was the 26 getting involved in that that was Roberto Totino Jake pederson’s car absolutely destroyed at the front end good to see him getting out Alan met in there Alan meny in there I hadn’t seen that black car the iFly car now he’s just looked at the front of his car I think he he thinks he can drive this away yep thumbs up from mois from moisy aretsky there as well that’s good to see the Porsche Columbus machine so mne’s had a look at his right front to see if there’s damage I think he’s going to try and reverse that Porsche out of there I think you’re right mne’s won what five championships in Porsches before in single make series he knows how to get things done he knows when a car is salvageable and he’s on the radio talking to the Kelly Moss crew saying guys this is not game over necessarily I think we can fix it no is he he’s getting back in he’s fastening his belts good I think I think he’s fastening his belts there and which is very smart and the and the AMR safety crew are basically saying can you drive this car and he’s nodded there y uh Angel B is getting out of his car again under his own steam that’s good AMR safety crew actually indicating yes Alan meny is going to take this back he’s reversing he’s lost a lap he’s lost a lap but not more than that as of now the cars involved just to let everyone know we’ve got Jake pet in the number 885 Efron Castro in the 65 meline Stewart in the 82 anel bonitz in the five Alan mney who is trying to recover his own card to the pit Lane in the number 99 Roberto tutino in the 26 Chris bomo in the 68 and Moise uretzky in the 44 those are the cars that are not turning laps at the current time yeah so that by I reckoned there was eight uh and eight is that count at the moment we might get one or two of them back in the game great start at the front of the field all calls on around about the mid teens in the position and it was just a a wiggle on the curb by the car of Angel bonitz who was the car that was originally furthest to the left a driver’s left as he went over the curb just got a little bit of a wiggle on that sent him towards the middle of the road and set up the the domino effect sping P off the multicolored car yes of P that took the big that was the big hit the very big hit m Stewart car went in backwards then sat in the middle of the road and at least one car I think clipped yes yes that was the Chris balo’s car pulled off a front tire on the 68 also in there the number 26 as we mened robertto Totino I think he had steaming damage and just couldn’t do anything about that looks a bit odd when you see people driving into a stationary car but the the 26 had nowhere to go and then Clips the turned right hand turn front wheel of the stranded melin Stewart car and at that point uh broke the steering uh we’re still waiting for clean up to uh continue here as you might imagine alen mety the only one back in his car apparently he has tried to move it but they have said it might not go um I received a message saying all drivers were told to get out of their cars but bney is still trying well he did get of his car he just got back in and now he’s getting out yeah I think there may be radiate the damage to the right front of that car the steering might be okay I also I think I saw ephon Castro uh trying to get into his car now he’s got no right front tire uh on his wheel still no hang on a second U me’s getting back in again or was he trying to knock the car out of gear no he is getting back in he’s he’s using one of the AMR safety Crews to try and help him no no back no you’re right he was uh putting the car into neutral I suspect so after that Carnage just to put everything in context Alex Sedwick leads Luke hartog ahead of Ryan Yardley yesterday’s race winner and then Zack vget who apparently had some contact and continued that’s the message from race control Dan Clark is in fifth with Michael Cooper in sixth in the proam class Jordan Wallace leads the way from Pedro Torres in third is Kenton King and fourth Marco cheron Marco came into today one point behind mois uretzky for the Pro Am Championship with etty scoring last place points in category for proam Moise can cruise around he doesn’t need to push for a win or perhaps risk it to try and get even more points you don’t want to make hay while the Sun’s shining while your competitor is out necessarily when you can just take what’s on offer and not risk your car we’ve got in the master’s class Scott blind the guy who was in the gravel remember in our countdown from yesterday is leading the class ahead of Richard Edge the PLL sitter John getts is in third with Mark wame who did a fantastic job of avoiding mine Stewarts the middle he is now in fourth yeah so big Shake of Championship contenders are in now we can see Alan Met’s car uh there was nowhere he was going to be able to get that back in and continue Championship contenders involved there sh uh particularly Alan well and bomo as well mois rety we’ve talked about uh Chris bomo is second in championship for for the master’s class he’s going to walk away with the best finish of ninth so that’s seven points on the day whereas his competition could walk away potentially with 27 if they win pull and fast lap could be a big Point swing it’s always the danger area down through turn one the exit to turn one you think about the uphill part of the S’s and not going side by side there but the incident often happens just at the AG of that curb and that’s exactly what happened there to Angel Benes Junior just got a little bit of a wiggle on it was three across the track and we’re talking about inches there and there’s no way to slow the cars down rather like a street circuit at that point actually in terms of the runoff or lack thereof and G B this car being towed back it’s like ice skating in ballet slippers you’re just going to go oh Alan mey out of his car and sitting on the grass spectator now at this point he’s had an up and down start to his season this year he’s normally very very consistent in that highly Machine by Kelly Moss consistently winning yeah yes uh dnf at Sebring for race number one dnf for Miami race number two this L to be his third DN F of the Season out of eight races that’s not very Alan meish and that’s not a championship contending form no because there are two many good drivers in all of the classes to be able to give away points to your competitors and they will the guys at the front of the field as well know when they see this that they now do not have to take big chances yeah they’re just they they’re going to pick up a point tall on all of these Championship contenders well and and you talk about points Hall and how uh crazy racing is it’s where you stop on track for this down as to where you are positioned as far as the championship is concerned so because Jake Peterson stopped ahead of meline Stewart and onel Bonitas it means that Jake Peterson now gets eight well more points than people that he’s competing against so he then gets credited with the 13th Place finish which still is in the points and it’s three times as many points as unhel bonitos will get yeah Met’s car one of the last to be pulled away Jake pederson’s car still in the background that I think is probably the most damaged of the 911 cup cars the eight of them involved in that incident and that car uh I’m pretty certain will require another one of the flat baits so ped’s car needing some remedial damage there was a couple of Kelly Moss cars involved in that that shle unfortunately yes four Castro Stewart and uh mney and bomo uh uh not Stuart JX yes four cars from Kelly Moss it’s going to be a busy old week for Victoria and the team it always I mean Victoria and Andy are always all over the country Porsche racing somewhere is there a Porsche race yes we’ll be at it correct it should be over there door uh the incident involving as it says on our timing screen multiple cars will be reviewed post race I think pretty much everybody that was involved in it hasn’t gone very much further uh so that’s smart by race control they’ll be far more involved at the moment in making sure that these cars are recovered safely and also there has to be a look at the barriers Chris palomo’s car are being offloaded in a place of safety they need to use that flat bed for at least one possibly two of the other cars that are there so down on the infield at turn one is going to be a bit of a broken Porsche Festival down there there are a bunch of hospitality spaces in that uh vicinity actually that’s just coming over the top of the ‘s isn’t it yes and there there is an access road so it is a good place to drop cars if you then need to get back quickly we do still continue around behind the 911 GTS though beautiful [Music] white [Music] so well not the start we were hoping for tow trucks continue to remove the damaged cars from the circuit and cleanup goes on thank you very much to all of our track services it is hot out there already this is not easy work this is not work that anyone wants to have to do cleaning up broken car parts I see arety’s bright lilac pink and purple number 44 baby ball racing car just being winched that’s front end damage on that car he was Airborne as well his Yokohama tires were completely off the ground yeah absolutely temperature 88 fahit in the air that’s uh 29 CS uh on the track a toasty 115 fah for the yokahama tires that’s uh what 46 celsus or any sneakers of anybody on the pit Lane yeah I know black was not the best option STI sticky sticky sticky start is under review that’s standard operational procedure um not sure I was concentrating on the front couple of rows I didn’t see anybody break ranks no no one did no one changed columns uh changed lanes or went too early I gave it a thumbs up okay Alam Met’s car being taken away so just now it’s the Pon car which is an easy spot because of its multicolors and that’s that’s a lot of work on that car Jake designs the dely himself he’s a very very good artist uh as well as musician multi-talented that’s just not fair is it it’s really not fair it’s really greedy yeah another Salt Lake City resident need to find out what neighborhood you’re in Jake when you listen back to this I don’t think you want to watch this one no good point good point and if he did he’s tuned out of the Replay by now well and he’s got another race coming up later today so we know he’s already shifting his Focus to driving another Kelly Moss Porsche one that he’ll be sharing with the former series front runner Kai van burlo yeah so not all hope has lost on the day Ryan Yardley in third position just lost out in that shuffle down through the first Corner was toughing it out on driver’s left the outside of Alex Sedwick Luke hartog following the Paul sitter through lovely bit of aware very aware driving very heads up driving uh fourth place Zak vaner fifth Dan Clark I feel like Dan might have moved up a position there M Cooper in sixth in the other b ball racing number 88 car Jimmy Libra still in seventh El Lor in eighth top racings Colin Kaminsky in ninth who got ahead then of seuk in 10 those two swapped around e balas for MDK and Michael mccan are the top dozen which are all pro cars in pram Jordan Wallace picked his way through uh with Pedro Torres so that’s the 23 Kelly moscar from the 16 ACI and Kent Kon who had a unproductive day yesterday when he went into the wall for MDK with 74 car dark blue purple is in a poding position at the moment Mar cherone for ACI Motorsports leading Contender and he was a handful of points behind moiety in the Pro arm so he he now has to he he now can make this a very very profitable race day today but he doesn’t have to push it that hard to grab the championship lead he’s got it by Dent of where he is on the racetrack as long as there’s nothing that happens in postrace Tech he’s got the championship lead by a few points because of where etty was scored in 10th the worst that we can get right now on the track for cherone is sixth that is a big gap in points we’re talking about 10 points versus six points and four when coming into today they were separated by one so he’s going to want to move forward from that fourth in proam 16th in the general classification but there’s no point in taking any risks to get on the podium you want to make an advantage but you don’t want to take a risk press home the advantage he’s already got and not give that momentum back uh still to come this year these cars racing at quality venues throughout the season yeah well we’ve already been to uh Sebring to kick off the season then to Miami F1 Montreal with F1 here next we go to Road America then we go to the Indian Plus Motor Speedway y then we go to Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta another one of those ah and then we round out the season amicas with F1 so it’s an eight round championship and two races per round means 16 races on the Year this will be race number eight safety car lights are out brilliant piece of work yes we’ve had 20 minutes behind the safety car but the reason for that was an eightc car pile up at the start of the race Angel B is just bouncing off the curve and starting off a chain reaction that took out eight cars and that’s what uh track services team and the Mr Safety team have been work looking to clear the first priority is the safety of the drivers the poray safety vehicle was moving the moment that the yellow flags went out and they were given the all clear and they were immediately able to split their team up and go to multiple cars at the same time once all the drivers were seen to be okay and they all were thank goodness then the and only then was the process of cleanup started and Well Done AMR safety team our IMS safety trucks and track services for getting this race still with 20 minutes thereabout on the clock more than a little golf clap from sherai here in the broadcast Booth so 9 minutes on the clock the Porsche Carrera GTS safety car leaves the field in the capable hands of Alex Sedwick for jtx racing Luke harok who made his way through into second from a third place start on the original grid Ryan Yardley Zack vaner Dan Clark Michael Cooper Jimmy Libra Elias delator ton Kaminsky and Sabra cook for the top 10 we go back racing with 18 minutes and 40 seconds on the clock and it’s a beautiful restart from the Englishman Alex Sedrick who rattles down towards the first corner without having to think about defending great restart heart talk looking at his mirrors as he goes through the esses for the first time but he’s got breathing space as well Ryan Yardley and Zack vaner probably the closest together in the top six which are breaking away a little bit from Jimmy leeet and that number two ACI Motorsports car textbook definition of nailing a restart for Alex Sedwick went exactly when he should have and he caught second place slightly off guard so he was able to pull a slight advantage over Luke kog but for Alex edwick being at the head of the field is not a familiar Place necessarily it’s a place he’s longed to be for a long time in this Championship it’s proving he belongs there now yeah in a Driver’s Handbook just replay that 20 seconds uh of coming out of turn 10 and going into turn one for Alex edrick the PT aut sports car going through the toe of the boot now and over the top of the rise and he still hasn’t had to make any kind of defensive move at all so he’s getting his yoro Hamas back up to temperature and pressure he would have thought that perhaps he might have been a little vulnerable on the restart always difficult to know when to go for the start oh he’s gone a little bit wide into turn number nine but drags the red white and black car back to towards the Apex just missed his breaking point for a moment that still might have been slightly cold tires there but didn’t Panic just opened his hands there and let the car come back to him he’s struggling he’s struggling with the front end of that car oh now has he got a puncture is this is the tires are the tires just not up to ATT yet and Luke hog senses that there’s an opportunity here through turn one well that was better for the leader riding the yellow yellow and red curbs still the debris and dirt on the track there it will be some it’s just some a thck some mud on the track the yellow and red flag often called the liquid flag but it’s actually for anything that’s on the track that shouldn’t [Music] [Applause] be well now it seems breaking appropriately yeah it l that looked okay there I was just about to see it looks like he’s settling down in Cedric he is confident enough to start throwing the car at the curvs on the exit of the inner loop through the Carousel and into the sheet down to turn six in Pro Am Pedro Torres ahead of Jordan Wallace K King still there in third so that’s a change there mark cheron sitting quarter of a second off a spot on the pr Podium and in master Scott blend Richard H John GS separated by just on a just under a second actually about 3/4 of a second those three Scott blend is not that far behind Marco cheron no that could come into play for the Pro Am category as well if they start getting hounded by the Masters all these cars are the same the only difference are the drivers and the age of the drivers yeah exactly so performance- wise Flat 6 normally aspirated full liter classic Porsche engine been used in competition and on the street for quite some time for now at least if you’re one of the fortunate few you can still get a GT3 or a GT 3 touring with this exact same engine for the new 992 Carrera and Carrera GTS has a new version of The Flat 6 based on the 2.9 but Tak it out to 3.6 instead of having two turbos it’s got a single turbo and a hybrid electric motor there’s no electric running on that that is basically a an assist to the 3.6 Flat 6 engine in the new 992 [Music] two Mar is starting to Hound Kenton King just got a quick shot at it but looking at the timing screen they are separated by a quarter of a second and Jordan Wallace is only a quarter of a second up from them so it is going to be a three-way battle here for second in the proam category cherone has to be smart here he needs he I even if he doesn’t finish rolling now he’s only going to drop down to what did you say sixth position sixth place would be the worst but he he he he needs he needs the extra points um just to just to stamp home the advantage that he’s got by uh having his one of his major contenders caught up in that first lap accident Marone won six championships running into the GT3 cup Canada he knows how important points are so he’ll definitely be aware of what’s going on around him Luke Cog is just tiny bits drifting back from Alex edwick you never know it by looking at them the track but it is the slightest interval that time Luke took back the fastest lap of the race but it was Sedwick who put in the fastest first two sectors we’ve seen so far yeah we’re talking minimal there 150. 703 against a 150 707 for cedrick’s best and last time a 726 they’re pushing each other along these two drivers and it’s dropping Ryan Yardley just a little bit and we that Ryan yardley’s quick look at his performance yesterday exactly he drove away from the field on the restart he did exactly what he needed to do Sedwick is looking at trying to get his first win and PT Autosports first win artog is looking to get another win and keep the streak of getting a win per weekend going now a couple of things to note here first of all with that time behind the Carrera GTS safety car they will not have used up so much performance Potential from their yohama tires however neither will they have used their racing fuel so these cars at the end of a race are much heavier than they normally are at the end of the race and that I mean that means there’s no worries about how hard you want to push but basically we’re looking at a car that’s probably only done for racing laps effectively it’s like when you’re driving in in your car on the highway is ooh wow that was a very wide moment for Jimmy liebre coming out of the exit of the heel of the boot Michael Cooper trying to hold him off if you’re driving in your street car and you’re on the highway and you are FL flooring it and then lifting off all Nick demon and your range is about 35 miles and then all of a sudden you start driving it like Scott Dixon and you’re babying the throttle and all of a sudden your range goes up to 75 miles yeah exactly so fueld tank in the front of these 911 race cars as they are on the street versions [Music] that means that the balance does change significantly the weight balance Chang significantly through what would normally be 45 minutes of flat out running and they’re going to be much heavier on the front end so they need just to be careful my point being really they’ve got to be driving like it’s the end of the race in terms of getting positions but they’ve got to be thinking that the car is in the state that would be in the first third of the race in terms of its weight and potential for pushing the tires too hard yeah with only 10 minutes to go on the race you have to make the moves now but you also have to remember that the car is not as nible as it normally is so yeah you’re you’re right on that we’ve got Jeff mosing is a bit of the cork in the bottle he’s got a train behind him John gats mark p are two of the ones Peter Ludwig is back in there as well for the proam and Jordan Wallace has fallen back to sixth well Jeff must have just got past uh John gets then um because he was running behind him the last time he Mark Farm is in there as well Jordan Wallace dropping back now in the proam ranks so Pedro Torres Marco Chon so something’s gone on there to drop Jordan Wallace down he was sitting in second and cheron was in fourth and now it’s Torres cherone and Kenton King the top three in pram there’s that extra points differential for Marco cheron in the number 84 car pressing home that advantage in the 43 Mark VY sitting behind another car with purple the 57 that is John GS they’re battling for 18th and 19th two different classes there no same class they’re both in Masters oh yes you’re right it’s the Jeff Moos the the Mark vame car you’re right Jeff moring’s gone by and he’s up the field let’s see if mosing can catch up to Richard Edge and Scott blend because then he’ll be in a shot in a shot with a pro and Podium battle continues for Michael Cooper and for uh that Jimmy Libra yes and Elias dor is now in there too so there is a three car scrap for sixth place into the in a loop for that very brightly colored number 88 with the purple ball baby ball racing Michael Cooper then Dan Clark ahead but up the road by about 3 seconds behind Michael Jimmy Libra for ACI in the red white and blue car then the number four is Al to for jdx in the Chrome I don’t even know what to call that color because it’s looks green it looks yellow but it’s very very shiny indeed Gatorade it’s the yellow Gatorade flavor good side by side at the third eight battle for position number two goes off the track Jimmy Libra is he going to give that back he’s going to press home the advantage I’m not sure that’s going to stand might be asked to redress that position there because he did take the very wide line he was well over the curbs at turn eight able to carry more momentum more speed thus able to get the pass done so yes race control will definitely be taking a look at that now Elias is staring at Michael Cooper’s car and oh he actually folded his mirror in he hit the wall on the outside of turn 11 and folded in his driver’s side mirror that’s going to be a problem for Elias that’s as close as you need to be then isn’t he a little bit closer no it was a little bit closer than he needed to be yeah exactly so Alan Alex sedick has taken back the fastest lap of the race by the way a 150. 481 150. 586 for Luke hartog Last Time Around The Gap is still just on half a second in the lead we’ll keep an eye on that as they come out of the inner loop they’ve pulled away to the tune of two and a half seconds from Ryan Yardley he’s putting in good sector times but just not able to string them together very good first sector there for Ryan now can he back that up as he tries to chase them down jdx Kenny Moss top racing your top three at the moment quame got around gets we have a new third place in the master’s class with Scott blind and Richard Ed still ahead Jeff mosing catching up to them at a rapid rate of knots and now mosing is actually 4 seconds only behind the batttle for the podium positions in his class Pro Am Pedro Torres by 5 Seconds to Mark cheron oo okay now that’s interesting we’ve got a moment uh that was the m getting folded in for a still just the it wasn’t just the mirror though sh he took a side swipe with the left rear y aarma there the adjudication has been handed down from the powers that be and the result of the Michael Cooper and Jimmy Libra moment at the heel of the boot was that Michael Cooper did not leave enough racing room and so he has been given a warning for instent responsibility okay got to leave the cars with on the exit racing room asked for not given here there will be uh some drivers in Europe will be scratching their head with that one but it’s a clear instruction in the imer handbook this is Mega the battle for the master’s class win we’ve got Scott blind leading Richard Edge who now have Jeff mosing all over them going excuse me coming through just ignore me just let me through I’m not part of your battle and then markw going yeah just what he said I’m just going to follow through uh pay no attention to me of we have the same color mirror some Wing end plates and numbers and all that but it’s fine I’m I’m just going to go with him so this is starting to get fun Carlos D cada puts in the fastest lap for the master’s class he’s down in seventh uh in the 22 elgro Motorsport cup but he’s found a gap on the track and finding some pace so the bright yellow car the number 45 then running in 16th position is Scott blind and he after a disappointing end to his race yesterday is leading the master’s class the car directly behind the blue car with the yellow auton that’s Richard H for ACI Motorsport Jeff moing is in the rhubarb and custard colored car the dark red and yellow car and he is not in this class fight his fight is purely for position and bragging rights uh later on in the panic but the car that is GT Silva and purple behind that is marami and that is very much about ble for position with the two front cars so he either wants Jeff moring to get by these two or he wants to get by in that 43 and he’s looking one way and the next won’t get it done going into turn eight though as they all stayed dutifully in line mosing desperately wants these guys to get out of his way because he’s losing a second a lap being trapped behind the battle whereas at one point he was a mere 4 seconds behind the podium position now he’s down to almost seven in the pran category quite correct yes K king holds on to that at the moment two cars up the road there’s three and a half minutes of the race left Anything could happen in the next three and a half minutes can and probably will as Alex edwick continues to lead the way for jdx racing in PT Auto Sport he’s three and a half minutes away from his first win watch moing here he’s going to try and take advantage as Richard H goes down the inside this is for the positioning class and the lead in the master’s class and that is a masterful move to take that master’s class lead Richard Edge then in the number 18 ACI Motorsport Porsche demotes the ruus racing Scott blind car number 452 second and immediately is scuttling off into the distance hasn’t done very many seasons of this Championship but every season he’s done he has made an appearance at Watkins Glenn so for Richard Edge this is a track that means just a little bit more to him and getting that win oh it would mean something extra and I I thought that just about to say SC blin got out the line there and round goes Jeff moing as well the bright yellow and dark red car and the all highlight the yellow C it looks it looked to me as though Scott had lost it in the middle section because he took a very odd line coming out and that is another disaster suspension damage for Scott and I think for Jeff right rear watch the middle part all the CH side by side contact Scott had already lost it uh before moing came on the scene markw needs to go buy a lottery ticket because that is the second incident that he has seen out his windshield and not been included in markw uh now up into third in the master’s class because Scott blend has dropped out because of that last lap around by the way Jimmy Libra has claimed the fast laap point for the pro category as the battle continues white flag has been wave this is the final lap Sedwick then into the scene of the incident last time around it’s there coming through now down into through the shooting into turn six and the lead’s got out to about 34 of a second white flag is being readied on the starter stand my apologies as Preston and T have it in hand ready to wave but we have to wait for this battle to shake out a little bit 50 seconds remaining on the clock so yes it will be white like this time around now swick this will be his first victory in this Championship came back what is it just last season in the or was it did he race it was 2023 when he came back best finish was second in Road America race number one he’s matched that with the first race uh second race of the weekend in Miami started both races from pole position but then got a drive-through penalty in race number one for changing lanes yeah in at Miami white flag is out Tony waves it with her usual vim and vigor and and that means we have 3.4 miles and 11 now 10 corners for Alex Ser with the man from the right in the center of England Royal leing sparring on the borders of uh warshire beautiful Spar town this stands to be a very good point stve for Mark M yeah could be even better if he were to get up one more position don’t think he’s going to get n get the 2.9 seconds on Richard Edge so Richard made the clean pass to take the lead in Masters and then I think just a tiny mistake on the curb by scottt blend that also affected the race of Jeff mosing and they’ve both come round to the pits by the way they’ll not turn any more laps luk kog has been told that it’s the final lap by T waving the white flag and he has decided now is the time to turn on the boosters because he did the fastest sector one of the race that we’ve seen sector 2 was decent let’s see if he’s got anything left to try and attack stage an attack he’s got two corners to do it turn eight is one of the opportunities he wasn’t close enough under the rear wing of Alex Cedric they’re both flirting with the very edges of the racing surface but that was fine kept the yamas on the curb is there one OPP opportunity to throw it for be from too far back I don’t think he take a lot of speed through here if he can and he does almost get airborne there with the PT Auto Sports GDX racing car of Alex Sedrick Alex becomes a first time winner in Porsche Carrera cup North America fantastic and our sixth different race winner of the 20 24 season was a great pass that got Richard Edge to the front of his field and Pedro Torres has had to fight as well he’ll come home in 13th and win for ACI a onew for ACI in prom there’s Marco cherone going through beneath us as well with Kenton King ended up with the gravel yesterday MDK Motorsports gets Redemption for the 74 car Richard H goes through in the blue and silver machine he’ll take masters from Mark VY who was only 1.6 seconds away at the end another racing lap or two could have had a big difference there Jordan Wallace has gone through in fourth in pram and it’s Matt Hulan Matt Hulan for ACI Motorsports who recovers that number 55 Mystery Machine car after being I thought he might have had some damage in that early incident but but he picked his way through and he’s on the podium in Masters Jody Miller in fourth for MGM Peter lugwig fifth in proam John gets fifth in Masters and the fastest lap of the Masters race for Cara St Cada in sixth for algro Motorsport Pedro Torres takes the fastest lap in Pro Am and ah right at the end right at the end the penultimate lap neither of
