ALMS: BMW Dominates Lime Rock Park
Joey Hand, Dirk Muller cruise to third straight GT-class victory of season
BMW Team RLL continued their stranglehold on the GT category with another dominating performance in Saturday’s Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park. Joey Hand and Dirk Muller took the No. 56 BMW M3 GT to their third consecutive American Le Mans Series victory, extending the lead in the ultra-competitive title race at the same time.
Hand cruised to a 20.378-second victory over the No. 45 Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche of Jorg Bergmeister, which made a costly stop for a left-front puncture with six minutes remaining. Despite Bergmeister and co-driver Patrick Long putting up a strong fight, there was no stopping BMW today.
Catch the replay on ESPN2 Sun 7/10 at 1 PM ET.
From all the BMW Motorsport fans on Teamspeed, congrats to BMW Team RLL for going 3 for 3!
