2017 SEASON 1 1:8 SPORTCARS ROUND 2 Fort Myers
This serie started the season from Boss Speed circuit where French Kevin Rasguin took the win with 5 second margin ahead American Joshua Berman. Third podium was driven by another American Kevin Bacon, who was also 5 seconds behind Berman when race finished.
Fort Myers was hosting this second round race.
American double Worldchampion Joshua Berman was on his own level and was the fastest in every round and after a really impressive run, he won the final two laps ahead of the next. Just very convincing by Joshua!
Second in this 20 minutes final was Irish Austin Elliot. He was only two 10th`s slower in average than the race winner Berman, but these long finals gathers difference so hugely.
Kevin Bacon was one 10th slower in average than Elliot and had to settle for third place. Kevin made few mistakes during his run, and these solved second place for Elliot.
Joshua Berman took convincing win
In SPORT level German Eckart Blau was strongest, he won this race with 6 seconds margin to American Gene Sears. Third place went to Peter Haaima from Netherlands.
In CLUB level Dutch Patrick Nieuwenburg totally crushed others. With average 12.4 his difference to second place was 36 seconds. Last podium places went America, to Manuel Weber and Gary Crowell. Weber and Crowell had nice battle of second place. Crowell was holding second place all the way up to 58th lap when Weber passed him. Ok, Crowell had some issues in refuel and got extra 5 seconds of that lap. This incident helped Weber and Crowell had to settle for third place.
