Audi wins the opener

The IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge started again with a victory for Audi Sport customer racing in the supporting program of the Daytona 24 Hours. Following the success of Compass Racing in 2018 and Road Shagger Racing last season, the Audi RS 3 LMS of the Unitronic JDC-Miller MotorSports team now claimed first place in the TCR classification. In a strong field of 17 competitors and touring cars from four different manufacturers, Chris Miller and his fellow competitors Mikey Taylor and William Tally prevailed in the closing minutes of the four-hour race. After a caution period, race control green-flagged the competition four minutes before the regular end. South African Mikey Taylor overtook Honda driver Ryan Eversley to win by seven-tenths of a second. For Audi’s entry-level touring car, this marked already the fifth victory in the still young 2021 season following initial successes in China.
