29 dropped behind the trio of Audi DSG cars of Stephen Vajda, Christian Cole and Bryan Putt. Filippi won with a 2.6-second margin over Vincent, while McCann finished a distant third. In the TCR Cup, Vajda built a comfortable lead, but with two laps to go he made a couple of mistakes, which gave Cole the opportunity to pass him and take his second win of the season, while Putt finished third and so clinched the class title. RACE 2 – FILIPPI ENCORES WITH A LIGHTS-TO-FLAG WIN In a photocopy of Saturday’s Race 1, Filippi drove his Hyundai Veloster N to a second victory, while Vincent and McCann completed the podium in second and third positions. The TCR field was reduced to eight cars, as Walker’s Alfa Romeo couldn’t be repaired following his crash with González at the start of yesterday’s race. The latter’s Honda Civic made it to Round 15 – Saturday 19 October, Las Vegas Motor Speedway 1. M. Filippi (Copeland Motorsport, Hyundai Veloster N); 2. N. Vincent (FCP Euro, Volkswagen Golf GTI); 3.

Vincent (FCP Euro, Volkswagen Golf GTI); 3. M. McCann (McCann Racing, Audi RS 3 LMS) the grid, but crawled back to the pits after a few laps. Filippi took the lead at the start from Vincent, McCann and Vajda, while the freshly crowned champion Hurczyn cruised in seventh position behind Cole and Putt. On lap 4, the safety car was deployed after one of the TCA cars had spread oil on the tarmac. It took five laps to clean the track and when racing resumed, Vincent was chasing Filippi, while Hurczyn overtook the three DSG Audi cars one by one and climbed to fourth. Ten minutes before the end, Filippi increased his pace a little and Vincent had to settle for second place, two seconds behind. McCann completed the podium ahead of Hurczyn, while Vajda won the TCR Cup for DSG cars ahead of Putt who overtook Cole for P2 in the final stages.
