ACURA GRAND PRIX OF LONG BEACH | ROUND THREE | 1-3 APRIL
Tom qualified third on the grid for the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach
Climbing to second place in the opening exchanges, Tom began to fight for the lead of the race
Handing over to team mate Oliver Jarvis at the halfway mark of the 100-minute race, a slew of caution periods closed the field together
As the race drew to a close, the #60 Meyer Shank Racing machine was locked in a tight battle for the remaining podium spot
Dropping to fourth, the team crossed the finish line just 0.966s shy of third place
Tom remains third in the championship standings, just 32 points behind the leaders
Round four of the campaign will take Tom to Laguna Seca on April 29 to 1 May
TOM'S RACE REVIEW
“I’m pretty disappointed, because we did everything right this weekend. We really made a good step with the car and we were really competitive. My first stint was good, though I made a bad call with the traffic, but we were running third quite comfortably with no drama and the car was working well. We lost a bit of pace there at the end and unfortunately, it got a bit close with Olly (Jarvis) and the others and we lost out on third. When you’re running third for most of the race, a podium would have been nice – but it’s very promising for the upcoming events.”
