2018 Pirelli World Challenge Rounds 16 & 17: Utah Motorsports Campus

[Mechanic Z]

Next weekend, Pirelli World Challenge will wrap up the Sprint-X part of the championship at Utah Motorsports Campus, formerly known as Miller Motorsports Park. UMC's high elevation can be an additional challenge for the teams and PWC's competition department.

R. Ferri's Toni Vilander and Miguel Molina lead the Sprint-X GT standings with 174 points, a 14 point advantage over Pfaff's Scott Hargrove and Wolf Henzler. Michael Christensen and Spencer Pumpelly sit a further 6 points back, and Rodrigo Baptista and Maxime Soulet have an outside shot, 37 points behind the leading Ferrari duo.

In GTS Sprint-X, the GMG Racing duo of James Sofronas and Alex Welch lead by 25 points over Racer's Edge driver Harry Gottsacker and 28 points over PF Racing's Jade Buford. The #1 of Aschenbach & Pilgrim, the #50 of James & Keegan and the #12 of Staveley are all within reach, but they'll need the leaders to have trouble in order to catch up.

There are a few changes to the entry list for UMC, with several additions to the GT3 ranks. LoneStar returns with their #80 Mercedes, while Turner Motorsports will bring a BMW GT3 for Naoto Takeda and Takuya Shirasaka.
Pro/Am features one of the most storied teams in GT racing, Risi Competizione. Their #82 Ferrari will be driven by Pierre Mulacek and Anthony Lazzaro.
