Heart of Racing claim the class silverware in GT4 America this weekend
Sunday, August 18, 2024
Already having scooped a podium double in the solo driver GT America Series for Gray Newell, he and co-driver Roman De Angelis did the same within the Pro-Am class of the GT4 America Series but with the sister Silver classed car of Hannah Grisham and Hannah Greenemeir almost following alongside as well.
Like all the racing on Saturday, proceedings were again affected by the torrential rain that blighted the event, but the #24 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 of Newell and De Angelis were still able to meet the chequered flag P7 overall and P3 in class.
Racing within their third class of the season so far, the #26 Heart car of Grisham and Greenemeir followed their teammates home in eighth for a P5 finish in silver. The #13 Flying Lizard entry of Todd Parriott and Tom Dyer were not able to emulate Parriott’s earlier podium finish within the GT America Series to finish P12 overall and P7 in Pro-Am whilst the #16 Skip Barber Racing father and son duo of Marc and Tyler Sharinn finished P22 overall and P6 in class.
Sundays concluding hour long race did however go better for the Heart of Racing team as Newell and De Angelis went two better to secure another class win with their P3 overall finish whilst the #26 car also come home to secure their first silver class podium finish P6 overall and third in class.
The other two AMR runners again finished P7 within class for the Pro-Am #13 Flying Lizard entry whilst the #16 Skip Barber duo improved again to claim a P18 overall finish – P5 in Am.
The series now moves onto Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham, Alabama for its next round the second week of September before concluding at Indianapolis a month later.
