🤖 Race Summary
The Nissan GTP class was headlined by a significant shift in the standings involving Gabri Martinez, who challenged for the lead early in the race. Martinez held the second position and battled at the front of the field for approximately 17 laps. However, his race ended in disappointment following a series of incidents totaling nine, which caused him to drop out of contention and finish in 10th place. Jacob Reid4 capitalized on this attrition, starting from pole position and maintaining a dominant pace to lead all 33 laps, securing the victory with zero incidents. Pepe Fuentes, who started third, moved up to claim second place despite accumulating five incidents throughout the event. Shady Ahmad provided the most significant movement in the class, advancing from a starting position of eighth to finish third, completing the race with only one incident. In the Audi 90 GTO class, the front of the field remained relatively stable throughout the 30-lap duration. Noel Luneburg converted his pole position into a class win, despite recording five incidents during his run. Joni Hagner and Mickey Friesen, who started second and third respectively, maintained their positions to finish in second and third place. The podium finishers faced challenges with track discipline, as Hagner finished with eight incidents and Friesen with seven. Several drivers demonstrated strong recovery performances throughout the field. In the Audi class, Brendan Lim, Jontxu Pardo, and Kyle Carpenter each gained six positions from their respective starting spots. Similarly, in the Nissan GTP class, Simon Wilks managed a significant climb, gaining five positions by the conclusion of the race. These performances highlighted the ability of drivers to navigate through traffic and manage incidents effectively on the Mid-Ohio Full Course.
