TCR World and life

27 Tim Lewis drove the KMW Motorsports Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce through a high- speed traffic jam at Road Atlanta in the last 20 minutes of competition to score the TCR class victory in the IMSAMichelin Pilot Challenge finale (left). With their second win of the season, Lewis and co-driver Roy Block went from seventh to third in the standings, while Taylor Hagler and Michael Lewis, sharing a Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai Veloster N, finished fifth in the race and clinched the TCR championship (right). Hagler became the first female driver to win a Michelin Pilot Challenge title, and this was the third straight year for a BHA Hyundai entry to win the title. The Atlanta Speedwerks Honda Civic Type R FK7 shared by Tyler Stone and Ryan Eversley, emerged from a last-lap scramble to finish second in the race, beating the Copeland Motorsports Hyundai Veloster of Tyler Maxson-Tyler Gonzalez by one tenth, while the BHA Hyundai Elantra of Parker Chase-Ryan Norman finished fourth, two further tenths behind and two tenths ahead of Hagler-Lewis. So, Chase wound up second in the final standings. The Tecnodom Sport-runAudi RS 3 LMS won the final race of the TCR DSG Europe series at Vallelunga; a victory that granted the title to Jonathan and Steven Giacon. This was the third victory of the season for the two brothers who shared their Audi with Luca Rangoni. The grey Audi took the chequered flag only 0.066 seconds ahead of the Élite Motorsport Vol- kswagen Golf GTI driven by Marco Butti and Gabriele Volpato after a close battle that lasted for the whole two-hour race and was made even spicier by a late intervention of the safety car. Butti, who was the only driver still in contention for the title with the Giacon brothers, finished runner up in the final standings ahead of Volpato.
