Auberlen And Said Go Four-For-Four In GT
In another dominating performance, No. 21 Performance Technology Group BMW M3 co-drivers Bill Auberlen and Boris Said led the GT category through virtually all six hours and finished two laps ahead of the No. 30 Risi Competizione Ferrari 360GT shared by Anthony Lazzaro, Ralf Kelleners and Philip Bennett to earn the class victory. The No. 44 Orbit Racing Porsche GT3 RS of Joe and Jay Policastro and Mike Fitzgerald was third.
“We were just cruising,” Auberlen said. “Second place was cruising, so it gave us a nice big gap for breathing. The BMW M3 was absolutely perfect. Pit stops were perfect, my teammates were perfect, and the car was perfect. You can’t have a better day. It makes up for all the bad times we’ve had here.”
The triumph was the fourth straight for the No. 21 teammates, and allowed Said to retain his three-point lead over Auberlen in the GT driver standings after five of 12 events.
“The track’s in great, great shape, good fans, and I love coming here,” commented Said. “Hopefully it will treat me this good in August.”
