It was a story of redemption for both winning drivers in Thursday's Round 14 of the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama Carlos Kauffmannn, who moved from Gold Cup to Platinum Cup in 2011, took his long-awaited first victory while Michael Mills, after trying to put together a GT3 program for the entire season, earned his first series win in his first try.
For Kauffmann, it was as much relief as happiness to put his No. 24 NGT Motorsport Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car in the winner's circle. Since making the move at the start of the season to the more powerful Platinum Cup car, he has only two podium finishes at Road America so this victory was that much more special, to his family as well as to him.My daughter is going to be so happy! said Kauffmann. She said to me, You got so many first places last year, what happened in this one?' Finally I got one for her! We were both fast and when I was out in front, I just kept thinking how much I wanted to close out this year with pole positions and wins. It was unbelievable fun today! I was inspired, I wanted it so much.
