BGB Porsche Wins At VIR After RS1 Porsche Shines Early
ALTON, Va. — Round 8 of the 2024 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge was a tale of two races for the Grand Sport (GS) class. The opening act of Saturday’s Virginia Is For Racing Lovers Grand Prix was all about RS1’s No. 28 Porsche 718 GT4 RS Clubsport, as Motul Pole winner Stevan McAleer showed a clean pair of heels – make that a clean rear diffuser – to the field.
