So Heitkotter is (correctly) called for his bump for Beretta gets away with his...

Edit - What. The. Smeg.

Somewhere in daytona imsa is pointing and laughing.....

Ginaro Zukovsky · 20 Apr 2015, 00:11 (Ref:3529119)

Well at least the leaders made it 2 laps this time...

fieldodreams79 · 20 Apr 2015, 00:11 (Ref:3529120)

Well, that'll probably do it. What a mess.

"Messy is an understatement." Jeremy Shaw

Beretta does not deserve to win this race.

MitchZ06 · 20 Apr 2015, 00:12 (Ref:3529122)

Beretta egged Estre into going that deep, if he wasn't so impatient to try get his lead back that incident would never have happened. On merit Beretta doesn't deserve to be leading this.

They shouldn't be when it's the same idiots they want to bring into their series.

BullMan · 20 Apr 2015, 00:13 (Ref:3529125)

This is horrific.

MitchZ06 · 20 Apr 2015, 00:19 (Ref:3529127)

Hope they send Jeremy Shaw down to interview Beretta.

fieldodreams79 · 20 Apr 2015, 00:19 (Ref:3529129)

A garbage win for Beretta.

Embarrassment for WC.

Ginaro Zukovsky · 20 Apr 2015, 00:20 (Ref:3529130)

That'll be Michael Lewis losing his GTA status thanks to all the carnage, with his second top 5 of the season.

jasonjessica09 · 20 Apr 2015, 00:20 (Ref:3529131)

Ok I only caught the last 5 minutes of the race live. What % of the race was run under green?

tux · 20 Apr 2015, 00:20 (Ref:3529132)

Great win for Dyson and Bentley, IIRC this is their first win with the car?

Edit: Im presuming beretta will lose the farcical win

Lagunaseca_4life · 20 Apr 2015, 00:22 (Ref:3529133)

Well if there ever was a well deserved win out there today,beretta's sure wasn't it!

I am not sure, but I'd say less than 40% of the timed event was green.

Bob Baldwin · 20 Apr 2015, 00:28 (Ref:3529135)

A big difference between Racing Hard and Driving Stupidly

Lets just say the last 5 minutes was the longest green flag time they ran.

Possibly 15 minutes. Probably less.

Wow. This series needs to lose the street tracks and the standing starts in the worst way.

No they won in the bently at miller last season.

Well will see if pwc has the balls to pull beretta's win or pull the same shenanigans as imsa.

DeezPutz · 20 Apr 2015, 00:40 (Ref:3529142)

That was legitimately embarrassing. Trying to run before they can walk.

Riley had one for sale in bare carbon in the paddock at Sebring. It's probably that one.

TheMightyM · 20 Apr 2015, 00:44 (Ref:3529147)

New drinking game: Take a shot every time there's a yellow. By the end of the "race" at least you you'll be oblivious to how awful the driving standards are in PWC.

TRspitfirefan · 20 Apr 2015, 01:13 (Ref:3529152)

That was really depressing.

With all these awesome cars and teams, there is so much potential for this series. But three really dreadful races in a row is very hard to take.

About the only redeeming point of the race was watching Chris Dyson's drive and maybe the fact Micheal Lewis achieved his second overall top five, so He should now be in the pro class.

Hope for better at Barber.

Apparently it's the GT3-R Viper that the Riley squad used at the Canada PWC round.

“I’m happy with the result, I just feel sorry for Johnny (O’Connell) — we went three-wide into the corner and there was contact. I am sorry for him — I don’t think it was my mistake, it was just that on a street race right there, we could not be three-wide.”
Beretta was not issued a penalty during the race; however, all results are provisional and subject to potential post-race penalties. It remains to be seen whether one is issued post-race.

Hmmmm......
