Sindre Setsaas Triumphs in Top Split of IMSA 90 Minutes of Sebring

Sindre Setsaas took top honors in the IMSA 90 Minutes of Sebring, the inaugural iRacing special event for the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge as a multi-class series, with a dominant victory in the top split on Sunday. Setsaas, who qualified for the 2020 Porsche Esports Supercup and will join that series as a rookie later this year, led 41 of the race’s 42 laps on the way to scoring a more than 11 second victory in the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport.

Ayhancan Guven was second, while Sergio Ignacio completed the podium. All three qualified in their respective finishing positions and spent most of the race running first, second, and third, with the exception of Daniel Pasztor leading Lap 24. Behind them, Enzo Bonito was the biggest mover in the class, moving up from eighth on the grid to finish fourth.

In the TCR class, Thomas Gibson moved up from fifth starting spot in class to score the win over class polesitter Jack Sedgwick in the Audi RS 3 LMS TCR, while Kimmo Suominen finished third. When all was said and done, 16 of the 21 Audi starters finished on the class lead lap, compared to 15 of the 23 Porsche starters.

The solo IMSA 90 Minutes of Sebring attracted 21 splits worth of entries, with a majority of iRacers putting the Porsche through its paces in its first special event just one day after the 12 Hours of Sebring team event. Both the GT4 and TCR classes will return to action as part of the 24 Hours Nurburgring on April 25-26, where they will be joined by GT3 cars in another team event.
