Jack Aitken Instagram – P2 here in Laguna Seca, such a mix of emotions to miss out on the top step yet again but still come home with solid points and be right in the fight.
Pipo had done a great job qualifying 2nd, and then had to manage a slow puncture through the first stint. He did so brilliantly, holding onto 2nd. I took over the car and managed to jump into 1st at the next restart, and did my best to hold the 01 Caddy and the 6 Porsche at arms length. We raced our way through the final stops and traffic, and it was looking good! I had built a decent buffer, but then the Porsche started really closing on me. Especially through traffic we were a bit vulnerable, and it felt like the pace advantage had swung to them. Eventually I lost the lead with less than 10 mins to go, getting tripped up by two GTDs in their own fight. Gutting, but such an intense fight, as shown by my heart rate being fairly pinned the whole way through. We’re showing our consistency though, and we’ll keep hunting.
