Английская Википедия:2021 WeatherTech 240 at The Glen
The 2021 WeatherTech 240 at The Glen was a sports car race sanctioned by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). The race was held at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York on July 2, 2021. This race was the sixth round of the 2021 IMSA SportsCar Championship, and the third round of the 2021 WeatherTech Sprint Cup.
The race featured a 46-minute weather-enforced red flag period, and was won by the Whelen Engineering Racing duo of Pipo Derani and Felipe Nasr.[1]
Background
The race was a late addition to the 2021 IMSA SportsCar Championship calendar, after travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the round at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park for the second consecutive year.[2] With the round scheduled for the July 4th weekend, the WeatherTech 240 was run less than a week after the 2021 6 Hours of The Glen, creating a veritable double header at Watkins Glen.
On June 30, 2021, IMSA released the latest technical bulletin outlining Balance of Performance for the event.[3] The lone change occurred in DPi, where the Cadillac DPi-V.R received a one-liter fuel capacity increase after finishing fourth through seventh in class the previous weekend.
Before the race, Filipe Albuquerque and Ricky Taylor led the DPi Drivers' Championship with 1733 points, ahead of Oliver Jarvis and Harry Tincknell in second with 1701 points, and Pipo Derani and Felipe Nasr with 1576 points.[4] In LMP2, Scott Huffaker, Mikkel Jensen, and Ben Keating led the Drivers' Championship with 702 points, ahead of Thomas Merrill, Tristan Nunez, and Steven Thomas.[4] With 1090 points, Gar Robinson led the LMP3 Drivers' Championship, 50 points ahead of Jon Bennett and Colin Braun.[4] Nicky Catsburg, Antonio García, and Jordan Taylor led the GTLM Drivers' Championship with 1082 points, 81 points ahead of John Edwards, Augusto Farfus, and Jesse Krohn followed by Connor De Phillippi, Philipp Eng, and Bruno Spengler in third.[4] With 1296 points, the GTD Drivers' Championship was led by Bill Auberlen and Robby Foley, ahead of Roman De Angelis and Ross Gunn.[4] Cadillac, Chevrolet, and BMW were leading their respective Manufacturers' Championships, while WTR-Konica Minolta Acura, PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports, Riley Motorsports, Corvette Racing, and Turner Motorsport each led their own Teams' Championships.[4]
Entries
Шаблон:Further A total of 30 cars took part in the event, split across five classes. 6 cars were entered in DPi, 3 in LMP2, 6 in LMP3, 3 in GTLM, and 12 in GTD. The pre-event entry list featured 31 cars, but was reduced to the final tally of 30 following the #16 Wright Motorsports entry's withdrawal.[5]
The only change from the previous round in DPi was the absence of Ally Cadillac Racing, while LMP2 saw a reduced three full-season entries after Era Motorsport announced their intention to scale back their 2021 program.[6] The Michelin Endurance Cup entry from United Autosports was also absent, as was their entry in LMP3. BMW Team RLL's absence saw the return of the three-car GTLM field, while GTD featured a host of changes owing to the round only paying points towards the WeatherTech Sprint Cup. Pfaff Motorsports and Magnus Racing withdrew, as they had done at Detroit, while Gradient Racing and Compass Racing replaced them as part of their Sprint Cup-only campaigns.[7] Gilbert Korthoff Motorsports also made their IMSA SportsCar Championship debut at this event, bringing the GTD class tally to 13.[8]
