VIR – Tommy Milner: “A new double for Corvette Racing”

En pole position pour la première fois de la saison, Tommy Milner s’est imposé au VIR avec son coéquipier Nick Tandy malgré une bataille acharnée contre leurs coéquipiers de Corvette Antonio Garcia et Jordan Taylor mais aussi surtout contre la Porsche 911 RSR – 19 de WeatherTech Racing avec Cooper MacNeil et Kévin Estre. “What a great victory! Milner rejoiced after the race. I had a pretty bad start and was in the wrong engine mode. It was my fault and it allowed Jordan to come back. With the conditions as they were, I just went a little wide into turn 1 and we lost first place. From there it was just a case of trying to save as much fuel as possible. When the Porsche stopped that early, the plan for us was to try to cover it in case a yellow flag came out. Today we really needed a little luck and we got it. »

“We also had this guy next to me (Nick Tandy) in the car at the finish, continues the Washingtonian. He did an absolutely incredible job. He ran really hard and I ran pretty hard for a really good show! I'm super happy for our entire team – another win for the number 4 Corvette and a new one-two finish for Corvette Racing. It really didn't look like it was going to be that way for us this weekend, but with a lot of hard work, some good racing and here we are in the top two places again. It’s great, it’s good for the team and I’m happy with these trophies. »
