GRRL! SUMMARY:
- MEGAN TOMLINSON delivered another impressive opening stint at Sebring, gaining three positions on lap one and expertly navigating through traffic chaos to run as high as sixth before the pit window. Her racecraft shined as she avoided spinning cars and made opportunistic passes, building on her strong seventh-place debut at Daytona.
- The father-daughter team made a calculated gamble on fuel strategy that nearly paid off, with RON TOMLINSON maintaining solid pace in the second stint despite running 11th. The unprecedented caution-free race threw a wrench in their plans as teams banking on yellow flags for fuel savings found themselves caught short in the final minutes.
- While running out of fuel on the final lap cost them a potential top-ten finish on track, a post-race disqualification promoted the Tomlinsons to tenth place anyway. MEGAN’s honest assessment of the risk-reward decision shows the strategic thinking that’s helping her establish herself as a serious competitor in IMSA’s ultra-competitive TCR class.
UPCOMING:
- WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca – May 8-10
