BMW TEAM RLL FINISHES FIFTH AND EIGHTH AT ROAD AMERICA

BMW Team RLL salvaged a top-five finish in today’s IMSA WeatherTech Championship Road Race Showcase, at Road America, in Elkhart Lake, Wis., with the No. 25 BMW M8 GTE of Tom Blomqvist and Connor De Phillippi, after a very difficult day. After leading a handful of laps, John Edwards and Jesse Krohn finished eighth in the No. 24 BMW M8 GTE following brake failure mid-race. The car completed the two-hour-and-forty-minute race, but after repairs cost four laps, a deserving result was impossible.

PORSCHE WORKS AND CUSTOMER TEAMS HEAD TO ROAD AMERICA

Entering the IMSA Road Race Showcase, Round Eight of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Porsche has five WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race wins and a 24-point lead in the GTLM class Manufacturers’ Championship. The two-car “works” Porsche GT Team comes to Road America on August 2 – 4 with the goal to maintain the momentum that has seen the Porsche 911 RSR capture seven-straight podium finishes including a five-race win streak. In addition to the factory squad’s two ca. 510 hp Porsche 911 RSR, three customer teams will field three Porsche 911 GT3 R in the GTD class at the Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin-area track. Park Place Motorsports, Pfaff Motorsports and Wright Motorsports each enter a single GT3-spec machine in the Pro-Am style class. In 2018, the John Wright-led squad won the category at the legendary track from pole position.
