A three-way battle for the lead resulted in a late race pass for the lead in the final race of the weekend for Pirelli GT4 America at Sebring International Raceway. The #35 Mercedes-AMG, driven by Michai Stephens and Colin Mullan for Conquest Racing West, passed the #54 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CLUBSPORT MR of Tim Pappas and Jeroen Bleekemolen in the closing moments of the race, claiming victory in Race 2 and sweeping Pirelli GT4 America overall and Silver class wins at Sebring.

The #47 Porsche of Matt Travis and Jason Hart, driving for NOLASPORT, passed the #54 Porsche of Pappas on the final lap, finishing second overall, but winning the Pro-Am class over the #54 Porsche, who finished second in Pro-Am and third overall. The #72 Mercedes-AMG of Kenny Murillo and Christian Szymczak with Murillo Racing finished second in the Silver category, repeating their performance from Saturday’s race. Third in Silver belonged to the #22 BMW M4 of Tim Barber and Cole Ciraulo, driving for CCR Racing/Team TFB. The #22 BMW finished fifteenth overall.

In the Am category, the #68 Toyota Supra GR, driven by Kevin Conway and John Geesbrecht won for Smooge Racing, defeating the #98 BMW M4 driven by Paul Sparta and Al Carter for Random Vandals Racing. The #619 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CLUBSPORT MR driven by Alain Stad and Robb Todd for Stephen Cameron Racing finished third in the Am class.

The start of the second race for Pirelli GT4 America allowed the #34 BMW M4, driven by Bill Auberlen, to lead the opening laps over the #52 BMW of John Capestro-Dubets and the #54 Porsche of Jeroen Bleekemolen. After finishing second in the Am class in Saturday’s race, the #16 Mercedes-AMG driven by Jon Berry and Kris Wilson suffered a punctured right-rear tire, forcing an early pit stop to change tires.

The #15 Aston Martin Vantage AMR of Kenton Koch moved forward to sixth in the first half of the race in the BSport Racing entry, navigating through the bottom half of the top ten by the time the pit sequence began 25 minutes into the race. Koch hit pit lane early in the pit window, along with the #52 BMW of Capestro-Dubets. The undercut didn’t seem to advance the #52, with the Auto Technic Racing BMW falling from 2nd to 6th during the pit cycle. After a driver change, the #35 Mercedes-AMG, now driven by Michai Stephens, led the Silver class over the #72 Mercedes-AMG of Kenny Murillo.

Contact between the #36 BMW M4 of James Clay and the #59 Aston Martin of Paul Terry resulted in the WR Racing Aston Martin spinning in turn 10, drawing a drive-through penalty for Clay in his BimmerWorld Racing entry. In the final twenty minutes of the race, the #11 BMW of Stevan McAleer had contact with the #52 BMW of Tom Capizzi, receiving a penalty for incident responsibility; along with damage received in the collision, the incident relegated the Classic BMW entry to 28th by the end of the race.

In the final 10 minutes, the #54 of Tim Pappas had the overall lead, but faced pressure from the #47 Porsche of Matt Travis and the #35 Mercedes-AMG of Michai Stephens. Stephens passed Travis, then snuck by Pappas with only two and a half minutes remaining in the race. The #34 BMW of Bill Auberlen and James Walker, who led early, finished fourth overall, but snagged a podium with their 3rd place finish in the Pro-Am category.
