The No. 3 Corvette C8.R of Antonio Garcia & Jordan Taylor spearheaded a Corvette Racing 1-2 finish in the Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park after lightning caused a red flag that eventually ended the race.
After nearly an hour of waiting for the weather to clear, race officials conceded to mother nature and called the race with just under 25-minutes still on the clock.

Taylor had started the No. 3 Corvette and was able to control the entire first half of the race before handing over to Garcia just after halfway.
With Cooper MacNeil starting in the No. 79 WeatherTech Porsche, the two Corvettes were able to pull away from the lone Porsche.

“We knew this weather could happen, so I’m happy that [Taylor] drove so well and managed to keep the No. 4 Corvette at a distance and kind of control [the race],” Garcia said after the race. “That gave me a little bit of room to have a really quick driver change so that actually extended our lead to compared to the [No. 4] car.”

After Mathieu Jaminet took the controls of the No. 79 Porsche, he was nearly 30 seconds behind the No. 4 Corvette C8.R.
The WeatherTech team needed a full course yellow to bring them back into contention, which they go in the form of the lightning delay.
The lightning didn’t let up in time for the race to resume, however, leaving them to settle for third.

Tommy Milner, who started the race in the No. 4 Corvette, complained of a lack of rear grip in the first half of the race.
Taylor in the No. 3 Corvette didn’t seem to struggle with that as much, pulling out a modest 5sec gap on Milner.
Taylor also credited that difference to getting lucky or unlucky in traffic.
The No. 4 Corvette ended the day second in class.
