. vassersullivan lexusracingusa drivers joyful and rueful after PetitLeMans - historic victory for one RC F, innocent victims in a shunt for the other IMSA
Aaron Telitz, Frankie Montecalvo and Richard Heistand were in the running to win the GTD class in the 25th running of Petit Le Mans, when their Lexus RC F was taken out just before the halfway mark of the 10-hour race by the JDC Miller MotorSports Cadillac driven at the time by Loic Duval.“It was a pretty disappointing way to end the 2022 season for the #12 car for Vasser Sullivan and Lexus,” said Telitz who had been driving the car at the time of the impact at Turn 5.
By way of sharp contrast, Hawksworth, Barnicoat and Kirkwood earned the first endurance victory for Lexus in GTD Pro and took the Michelin Endurance Cup – the championship within the championship, that goes to the highest points scorers in IMSA’s four endurance rounds at Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta.
“To get Lexus their first endurance win – this has been six years in the making. It’s something really special. I’m a bit overwhelmed. Thank you to my teammates, to the whole Vasser Sullivan team and everyone involved. It’s an amazing day.”
