ELKHART LAKE, Wisconsin (September 5, 2019) – Continuing a season highlighted by consistency and a mistake-free 2019 season, Magnus Racing and drivers John Potter and Andy Lally would once again enjoy a trouble-free event during yesterday’s eighth round of the GTD class for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Running without any errors or major miscues during the race, the No. 44 Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO would take sixth.
“Sunday’s race represented our season fairly well,” stated Magnus Racing team owner and co-driver John Potter. “We worked hard hard through the weekend to get a handle on the car’s setup, making changes right up until the race, so we can’t be too disappointed with our finish. It’s been an incredibly consistent year, but with our history including several podiums and big wins, we’re not a group to just be contented with this, so we’re still focused on moving further up the grid for the final three rounds.”
Searching for an ideal setup throughout the weekend’s practices, a great qualifying for John Potter would see him take the green flag with his usual steady start, avoiding a handful of incidents and keeping pace with the field in front of him.
Completing his minimum drive time and handing the machine over to Andy Lally, a similar theme to previous races would continue. Doing his best to make work of the field in front of him under an all-green flag race, steady pace and a few critical passes would advance the Georgia resident to sixth by time the checkered flag fell.
The next round of IMSA competition will take place in just over two weeks’ time, taking to the scenic VIRginia International Raceway for another all-GT affair. Practice begins on Friday, August 23, with the race taking place on Sunday the 25th.
