After 62 laps in the wet and the dark, BMW Team RLL recorded another double podium in the GTLM class: John Edwards and Jesse Krohn secured second place in the #24 MOTUL BMW M8 GTE, followed by their team-mates Connor De Phillippi and Bruno Spengler in the #25 sister car in third place.

In the GTD class, Bill Auberlen and Robby Foley in the #96 BMW M6 GT3 of Turner Motorsport delivered an exhilarating race. The duo was rewarded with another win. That saw sole record holder Auberlen extend his impressive number of IMSA wins to 62. The next event in the IMSA series is scheduled for this coming weekend (15^th to 17^th October): the famous ‘Petit Le Mans’ at Road Atlanta. The 10-hour race gets underway at 12:40 p.m. local time on Saturday.

“It was bittersweet to finish second after leading for so long, but ultimately, we did not have the pace the Corvette did over a full stint. Racing on such a challenging track in a deluge of rain, we can be pleased to have both cars finish with no scratches.”

“The race was held under exceedingly difficult conditions, so I am pleased about a P2 result. Having led the majority of the race we showed that we are able to fight for wins. A double-podium is momentum we can carry to Petit Le Mans.”

“Overall, a fantastic result for BMW. Both cars on the podium following a great team performance. We showed a winning pace, but ultimately it was not quite enough.”

“P2 and P3 is a particularly good result. Clearly we wanted the victory, but we just did not have quite the pace of the Corvette.”
