WRR TV: A Fine Line Between the Podium and the Tow Truck in Toronto

Features, Racing I By Bradley Iger I September 18, 2014
Watch as Nick Tandy in the No. 31 EFFORT Racing Porsche GT3 R battles with Mike Skeen in the No. 2 Hawk Performance Audi R8 Ultra and Kuno Wittmer in the No. 92 Dodge/SRT Motorsports Dodge Viper SRT GT3-R for the top spot in the July 20th Pirelli World Challenge race at the Honda Indy Toronto, Round 10 of the 2014 season.
 
Although Tandy came close to clenching first place, his race would end in sheer disappointment after a spin on Lap 23 at Turn 1 following contact with Wittmer. Nick Mancuso, of Chicago, in the No. 16 R. Ferri Motorsports Ferrari 458 Italia GT3, hit Tandy exiting the corner as Tandy was trying to right his car. That knocked both drivers out of the race, and Tandy was left stranded at Turn 2 for the remainder of the day. Wittmer held on from there over Lazzaro by 1.260 seconds, with Skeen able to bag a fortunate podium in third place.
