Wayne Taylor Racing took its second consecutive win on the streets of Long Beach as IMSA's WeatherTech SportsCar Championship put on a stellar race until stupidity reared its head with the checkered flag in sight.

The first 90 minutes of the BUBBA burger Sports Car Grand Prix at Long Beach provided fantastic racing, but the quality of the event – and the standard of driving by some – took a dire turn downward during the last 10 minutes.

Ricky and Jordan Taylor led home a Corvette DP sweep of the podium with their No. 10 Konica/Minolta car, and Misha Goikhberg and Stephen Simpson added to their Rolex 24 at Daytona PC class win with first place in the No. 85 PC JDC-Miller Motorsports Oreca FLM09-Chevrolet.

"We always perform really well here and it's a Corvette 1-2-3, so it's a great day for Chevy," said Ricky Taylor, who commanded the race with his brother Jordan.
The pole-sitting No. 5 Action Express Racing team and the sister No. 31 AXR car completed the 1-2-3.

And then there was GT Le Mans class in the Turn 11 hairpin with only two minutes remaining.

Porsche driver Makowiecki intentional and dirty fucking underhanded had end result the Corvette parked backward and blocked, and gave Tandy a clear lane to motor by and inherit the win.

Once Milner was able to get moving, he took a distant second as the driver of the No. 912 was summoned to the pits by IMSA to pay for his sins. Risi Competizione's No. 62 Ferrari 488 with Giancarlo Fisichella and Toni Vilander at the controls was promoted to third after the No. 912's penalty.

Prior to Makowiecki's theft, Milner and co-driver Oliver Gavin were on target to earn their third consecutive win of the season after capturing Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring.

"I just got wrecked, basically," Milner said.
"Two Porsches running nose to tail.
It is pretty clear what happened there.
It is pretty disappointing that is the kind of racing here where we are better than that for sure. At the end of the day, it could have been worse for us for sure.
Second place is obviously great points. Disappointing but certainly could have been a lot worse.

"I don't mind finishing second if it is clean and it is the right way, but that wasn't the right way.
It hurts a little bit to be second the way it happened, but again, end of the day second place is good points for us. We can hold our heads high that we raced as hard as we could today, the right way."

The Grand Prix of Long Beach was starting to look like Corvette Racing’s to lose with No. 4 out in front of the GTLM class and No. 3 right behind.
Corvette Racing was hoping to score its 100th GT racing win today.

Then No. 3 Corvette driver Antonio Garcia spun out with a little over nine minutes to go.
Garcia just lost control and ended up going nose-forward into one of the Long Beach street circuit’s walls

This left Tommy Milner in the No. 4 vulnerable out front, without his wingman keeping the two Porsches on their tails at bay.
Milner still managed to hold on to the win, even all by himself.
Well, that is until Frederic Makowiecki in the No. 912 Porsche decided to try a risky dive-bomb with just over two minutes to go that resulted in Mako pit-maneuvering Milner’s Corvette.

Video clearly shows how Porsche will do whatever to stab an American driver in the back to assure a win in an American race. sex
