JMR Corvettes take a 3rd place podium on Saturday and a win on Sunday in GT World action from Fuji, Japan. Here’s a highlight of the race action on the win from one of the 2 Corvette GT3.R’s in action.
Prince Jefri Ibrahim scored his third win of the season, and second in three rounds alongside co-driver Ben Green, in an action and incident packed second race at Fuji where JMR’s other Corvette lost third place at the final corner of the last lap.
The #99 Z06 GT3.R controlled the race from pole position until a late Safety Car period wiped out its near-19-second advantage. But while Ibrahim successfully negotiated the final lap shootout, the same could not be said for several other top contenders including his brother Abu Bakar who collided with Ruan Cun Fan’s Team KRC BMW in sight of the finish.
Origine’s Porsche shared by championship leaders Bob Yuan and Leo Ye inherited second place earlier on the same lap when a spinning Mike Zhou collected Lu Wei, while Craft-Bamboo’s Cao Qi and Jayden Ojeda completed the overall podium despite being caught up in the Corvette and BMW’s late racing incident.
That and an earlier penalty for 5ZIGEN’s Nissan helped Origine’s Li Kerong and Anders Fjordbach claim their maiden Silver-Am victory and finish an impressive fifth overall. Silver spoils went the way of Harmony’s Ferrari driven by Andy Deng and Luo Kailuo, and Garage 75 collected Am honors courtesy of David Tjiptobiantoro and Christian Colombo.
