• MEGAN TOMLINSON delivered another impressive performance in IMSA’s TCR division at Sebring, gaining three spots on the opening lap to move into P10 and expertly navigating through multiple incidents while maintaining position. Her racecraft shone as she avoided spinning cars and capitalized on opportunities to move up the field during her stint.
• The father-daughter duo’s aggressive fuel strategy looked promising mid-race, with RON TOMLINSON maintaining solid pace in his stint despite a small mistake that cost a position. The team held a comfortable gap over competitors and appeared positioned for another top-ten finish until fuel calculations became critical in the race’s final stages.
• Their calculated risk to stretch fuel without a caution period ultimately backfired when TOMLINSON’s car ran out of fuel on the final lap, though a post-race disqualification promoted them to P10 anyway. The team’s willingness to gamble for track position shows the competitive mindset that’s already earned them respect in their rookie IMSA campaign, and they’ll carry that momentum to Laguna Seca in May.
