Jackson Freer has won Round 5 of the Quarantine GT Series, storming the field at Sebring!
#25 Jackson Freer
Qualified: 2nd
Race: 1st
After qualifying on the front row, Freer knew he was a chance of a great result. His race got underway smoothly, and then – coming to start Lap 3 – he made a move for the lead. The move didn’t come off, but it unsettled the race leader, who would have a big moment and spin in front of the field the very next corner. Narrowly avoiding the spinning BMW, Freer slid his car through the grass, and came out as the new leader.
From there, he just built the gap, lap after lap, eventually coming home to win by 12 seconds. It’s the first win for the team in the Quarantine GT Series.
#089 Keegan Sutton-Baker
Qualifed: 5th
Race: 3rd
But the champage didn’t stop there! Qualifying in the Top 5, Keegan Sutton-Baker quickly cemented himself as a real chance for a podium in the early laps. He was very nearly caught up in the leader’s Lap 3 incident, but managed to get through unscathed.
He finished in 3rd place, securing his first podium for the season, and the team’s second double podium in as many races!
#27 Sean Grimmond
Qualified: 9th
Race: 5th
And keep the accolades going, for Sean Grimmond who claimed a second successive Top 5 finish! After a smooth start, Grimmond put his head down and got himself up into the Top 5. As the race wore on, he found himself with a large margin back to P6, and unreachable gap up to P4. He settled in, and brought the car home for another great 5th place.
Round 6 heads to Le Mans in two weeks, for a special 90-Minute race.
