[VIDEO] Check Out this Battle of the GTD GT3s at Road America


During Sunday’s IMSA race at Road America, a fight for position broke out between multiple GTD class contestants, and it resulted in some of the best racing we’ve seen yet. The best part was it all got started with some argy-bargy between Tommy Milner in the number 4 Z06 GT3.R and the GTD number 27 Aston Martin.

Tommy had been trying to get around the Aston Martin, who seemed to be defending the position despite being in separate classes, and it was clear that the Corvette was the faster of the two cars. Just before this incident, the two cars went side-by-side which resulted in the Aston Martin’s rear wing knocking off the Corvette’s right side view mirror.

This video joins the action just after that as Tommy decides enough is enough and pushes the Aston Martin wide around a fast turn to get in front and take the position. That move appeared to rattle the Aston Martin whose rear aero was now compromised from striking the Corvette. Sensing blood in the water, six other GTD cars in the class including the No. 13 Corvette Z06 from AWA Racing pounced, resulting in the best two minutes of sports car racing I’ve seen this year:


The GTD fight went one a little bit longer, but by then several of the contestants were driving in damaged race cars.

  1. Personally, I’m not a fan of the GTD Pro and GTD cars being the exact same spec. The GTD cars seem to really enjoy getting in the way of the GTD Pro cars and messing up the GTD Pro class racing. I wish they’d let the GTD Pro cars have some speed advantage over the GTD cars so that we could have the Pro class racing against each other instead of having to race against the GTD cars as well.
