Pirelli World Challenge Rounds 16 & 17: Utah Motorsports Campus

Next up on Pirelli World Challenge's schedule is Utah Motorsports Campus, previously known as Miller Motorsports Park. Alvaro Parente still leads the GT driver's championship, his lead extended to 95 points over Patrick Long. Michael Cooper sits third, only 6 points further back. Johnny O'Connell, who won both races last year, still sits fourth.

Notably, following avoidable contact while under probation at Mid-Ohio, James Davison has been suspended from participation in Utah Race 1.

Also, Utah will see the pro debut of Johnny O'Connell's son, Canaan, with Techsport Racing in the TCB class.

PWC has yet to release the Sprint-X entry for UMC.

Failed to mention it here, but another driver making his PWC debut is McKay Snow, young sports car veteran Madison Snow's brother. He'll be driving in GTCup with Wright Motorsports.

The Miller family chose not to renew it's lease with Tooele County, after which the county agreed to sell the property to the Mitime Investment & Development Group, which planned to rename the facility Utah Motorsports Campus.

There is an ongoing lawsuit about the sale, but in the interim, Mitime is operating the facility under the UMC title.

For more about the sale, lawsuit etc. here's some Sportscar365 articles:

Calvert won't be racing in Sprint due to a heavy fire on the #77.

Calvert & Michael Lewis will now be running Sprint-X in the #98. Lewis will still be running the sprint races.

Also, Parente led the second session over Fogarty, Eversley, Cindric and Dolby.

Fun race from the TC classes today.
Great drives by Poland, Wolfe and O'Gorman.
Pretty good first professional race for young O'Connell as well. Quite the fun TCB battle between O'Gorman, O'Connell and O'Morse.

Seems like the NSX is on pace. Had a great time set yesterday during sprint x practice. Only Parente's McLaren was faster on overall timing.

Cooper, Heitkotter, Long, Fogarty, Fong, Thompson, Pumpelly, Lewis & Dolby are the rest of the top 10. Top 12 cars are within a second.

Yup. Still don't get the need for Sprint X...

HOWEVER, what a drive by Michael Lewis! Chasing down Kuno Wittmer, a BMW factory driver, from more than 22 seconds deficit, that was a spectacular job.

Cooper spun him in turn 1 really early in the race. Car was apparently unable to continue. Sounds like it'll be fixed in time for Race 2, but starting last.

There are 12 entered for Sprint X. Anyone know why the other 4 were a no show for Sprint X race #3 this year? PWC did say there were going to be a minimum of 16 for Sprint X at Miller because Ferrari Challenge, Lambo Cup and GT3 Cup are also allowed and then 20 for Sonoma and Laguna. Seems odd that for a new series that added in three more classes since Mosport that they would have seen an increase of entries. Maybe there will be 12 or 16 cars for Sprint X race #4 today.

It would be nice to see more cars because GT only had 4 cars that finished and the car that finished 2nd was 3 seconds off the pace for the last 30 minutes. You got to hand it to that Z4 because I think that car is on it's 3rd owner (VDS, Turner, Mills) and first started racing in 2010.

From what Dagys reported on S365 Friday:

***The SprintX field is set to again see an eight-car starting grid, with both GMG Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars and Performance Motorsports Group Ginetta G55 GT4 cars having only taken part in practice sessions with single driver lineups, despite additional team drivers having been on-site. Eight cars also took part in the season-opener at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in May.

It does feel like an idea that sounded great but isn't really what most of the money wanted to do.
