. CGRTeams completes a brilliant weekend after backing up Indy GP triumph with IMSA victory at Laguna Seca with Cadillac
Chip Ganassi Racing’s Renger van der Zande and Sebastien Bourdais won an engrossing fourth round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, after van der Zande held off the charging Porsche of Nick Tandy.At the drop of the green the two Porsche Penske Motorsports 963 by Matt Campbell and Mathieu Jaminet loused up the heavy braking for Turn 2.
Moments later, with 1h42m to go, John Farano crashed the Tower Motorsports LMP2 car at Turn 5, packing the field back up. So with 70m left it was a Cadillac 1-2, Derani and van der Zande 14s apart. Tandy grabbed fourth from Braun into Turn 2 on Lap 55, with the BMWs also demoting the MSR machine. In fact, Yelloly was on a roll and demoted Tandy for fourth with just over an hour remaining.
Tandy passed Sims for second with a quarter-hour to go, and now had 4.4s to close on van der Zande. However, the leader actually edged away until van der Zande hit a knot of traffic, when the margin shrank to 2.5s. Of course, then it was Tandy’s turn to hit traffic, and his deficit went out to 3.8s at the checkered flag.Ben Keating of PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports took the lead at the start of the race from Georg Kurtz’s Crowdstrike Racing by APR entry ahead of Steven Thomas of TDS Racing.
