COTA Pirelli World Challenge weekend is a success for Racing.ca team!

This year PWC TC/TCA/TCB season kicked off with a triple-header weekend at a challenging Circuits Of The Americas race track in Austin, TX.

 

Race 1 and Race 2 both took place on Saturday, March 7, 2015.

Race 1 saw #58 Glenn Nixon starting from the back of the field after his 2nd place qualification effort was disallowed due to a technical infraction. Glenn zoomed from the back eventually finishing in an amazing second place having gained 18 positions during the race, this feat has earned him the VP Racing Fuels Hard Charger award. #57 Andrei Kisel was sent back 5 positions by a surprise hit from a competitor mid-race, dropping Andrei from 4th to 10th, nevertheless he was able to recover and charged into the 4th place. #59 Wei Lu crossed the finish line in impressive 6th place in his first ever Pirelli World Challenge start.

Race 2 was different story, this time it was #57 Kisel who started from the last position on the grid. Andrei was able to recover to a 4th place, and just as in the first race - the deciding pass for the fourth position was made on the very last lap. #58 Glenn Nixon had to settle for an uneasy second place despite his intense effort against the leading competitor in a more powerful vehicle. #59 Wei Lu proved that his result in race 1 was not a fluke as he used his considerable race-craft to defend against half dozen cars immediately on his bumper crossing the finish line in the 6th place and earning the Optima Battery Best Standing Start award.

 

Race 3 was on Sunday, March 8, 2015, the track was wet and the rain continued through out the entire race.

#58 Glenn Nixon was yet again involved in a fierce battle for the 1st place but finished in 3rd after a pit lane drive-through penalty removed him from the lead. #59 Wei Lu incidentally crossed the finish line in 6th place one more time, highlighting that consistency is still a thing in racing. #57 Andrei Kisel was yet again spun by a competitor while running in 4th place at the exactly the same spot as in the first race, but unfortunately this time the incident happened on the last lap and the car damage was so severe that Kisel only managed to crawl to the finish line in 9th place, virtually on 3 wheels.
