Hyundai cars continue to rule in IMSA TCR class

The Hyundai domination in the TCR class of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge seems endless. For the third consecutive rounds the Veloster N cars have filled the podium, as Mason Filippi and Michael Lewis won the 2-hour race at Virginia International Raceway.
It was a family fight between the Bryan Herta Autosport teams, as Filippi and Lewis were closely followed by their teammates Michael Wilkins-Harry Gottsacker and Parker Chase-Spencer Brockman who finished in second and third position respectively, completing the second consecutive 1-2-3 finish for the team.
Gabby Chaves and Ryan Norman, the winners of the previous event at Road America, provided the icing on the cake for Bryan Herta Autosport, as they finished fifth behind the Honda Civic driven by Matt Pombo and Mike La Marra
Wilkins and Gottsacker have retained the leadership in the standings, 7 points over Lewis-Filippi and 11 ahead of Chaves-Norman.
The next round of the series will be the 4-hour race at Road Atlanta on 5/6 September.
