Surf And Safari With The 2019 Jaguar E-Pace Along South Africa's Sunshine Coast
Five minutes later, Gavin took over the No. 4 Corvette and drove it to the finish. Gavin鈥檚 stint did have its own share of drama, however, with a quick spin in the uphill chicane and a close encounter with a Ferrari in Turn 1. Then light rain began to fall in the final 10 minutes. At 22 minutes into the race, there was contact between O鈥機onnell鈥檚 Corvette and the No. 62 Ferrari of Jaime Melo going in the first turn. The Ferrari ended up in the barrier and subsequently retired; Melo was not injured. The Corvette went off-course and hit a tire barrier which damaged the front bodywork and driver鈥檚 door. There were cars spinning off right and left in front of me, and a car even spun into the wall in front of me behind the pace car! 5 laps and then put him into a wall!

The encounter dropped Beretta to 8th position. 鈥淚 was very upset with the penalty because everything was good in our first race in GT at Lime Rock,鈥?Beretta said. 鈥淚 was bumped three times - I was the victim, and yet I got the penalty.
鈥淚t鈥檚 great that our sister car got a fantastic finish here and Jan and Johnny have got themselves back in the hunt. 鈥淎 ninth-place finish certainly wasn鈥檛 what anybody wanted,鈥?said Gavin. Caught out by a safety car that split the GT field, Gavin lost a lap to the leaders. 鈥淢elo had a legitimate run on me going down the hill, I got caught up by guys running 10 seconds off the pace, and he came up the inside,鈥?O鈥機onnell said. He got back on the lead lap with one hour to go when the leaders pitted, but didn鈥檛 get the caution that he needed to rejoin the frontrunners. 鈥淲hen I got in the car I knew I was going to be behind because of the extraordinary penalty we received,鈥?Gavin said.

Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan reflected on the race: 鈥淚t was an absolutely awesome effort today by the crew and drivers,鈥?he said. Gavin鈥檚 two-hour stint in the No. 4 Corvette was relatively uneventful.
The immobilized race car was loaded onto a flatbed and taken to the Corvette Racing transporters. Di Grassi wants to elevate the status of the driverless racing series. 鈥淎t the end of the day, we had cars that were competitive at Lime Rock,鈥?said Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan. When racing resumed, the Corvettes emerged third and fourth in the GT category. Beretta was vigorously defending fourth place against a pair of BMWs when he was notified to come into the pits to serve a stop-and-go penalty for blocking. 鈥淭here was confusion at the front, and one of the Porsches braked early,鈥?Beretta reported.
