Best GT World Challenge Weekend of the Season for Turner at VIR

Only One Step Left to the Top of the Podium. 

Over the years Turner Motorsport has enjoyed some very good days at VIRginia International Raceway. This weekend’s two GT World Challenge events – Rounds 5 and 6 of the 2022 season – was no different as the No. 96 Turner Motorsport LIQUI-MOLY BMW M4 GT3 scored two PRO class runner-up finishes and the best result of the year for drivers Michael Dinan and Robby Foley.

Saturday’s 90-minute Round 5 event saw Dinan start from the fifth overall position and, 47 laps of the 3.27-mile, 17-turn circuit later, Foley finished second overall and second in the PRO class. Excellent stints by both drivers, great pit work and no mistakes. On Sunday, it was the same result. Excellent stints, great pit work and no mistakes. Second in the PRO class after 44 laps because of two long caution periods that slowed the field.

Will Turner – “Two second place finishes after an off in practice set us back feels like two wins. Luckily for us, the other BMW teams were able to loan us some pieces and we got the M4 back together one-hundred percent. Michael and Robby did a fantastic job in both races and we’re only one step away from the top of the podium. Their first win is very close.”

Michael Dinan – “We sustained some damage to the car Friday morning and lost practice time, but by Saturday’s qualifying we were ready to go. It was great to see how well the Turner team came together. Two podiums and solid points. I’m very happy to score this result at one of my favorite tracks.”

Robby Foley – “It was a challenging start to the weekend with the repairs to the car, but everyone got it together and we executed well in both races. We had good pace and we are ready for the next two at Watkins Glen.”

GT World Challenge Rounds 7 and 8 will be held at Watkins Glen International July 22 – 24.
