Jack Aitken admits that 'smart' driving was partly to thank for the AX_Racing Cadillac team emerging from Sebring12 chaos with victory: IMSA
Jack Aitken says"smart" driving was partly to thank for Action Express Racing's Sebring 12 Hours victory after a late incident involving the top three cars allowed the Cadillac squad to take an unlikely win.The #31 Cadillac V-Series.R shared by Aitken, Alexander Sims and Pipo Derani was the prime beneficiary when both Penske Porsche 963s and the Wayne Taylor Racing Acura ARX-06 were eliminated in a three-way crash inside the final 20 minutes of the race.
"It was after I got through that I was waiting for the caution and I thought, 'That was quite a lot of GTP cars. Maybe we're alright here.' "We all drove pretty smart as well as racing as hard as we could when we had the pace. I was waiting a little bit for an accident to happen at some point."For Derani, the win marked his fourth at Sebring to add to his previous triumphs in 2016, '18 and 19, and came after he suffered a coming-together with the Performance Tech Motorsports LMP3 car at Turn 13 around two hours into the race.
In your mind, you're resigning yourself to finishing fourth. And so yeah, the emotions go through a bit of roller-coaster to realize that we're in the seat to win the race. "It’s obviously pretty disappointing for everybody," said the French driver."The guys did a great job. The car was quick. Cadillac seems to have something that works pretty well at Sebring, so that’s really encouraging.
