Porsche Cayman S After a frustrating opening part of the season, multi-time sports car champion Jack Baldwin placed his No. 73 GTSport Porsche Cayman S on the GTS class podium, third, on Saturday. He followed that with a stunning start and hard drive to capture the team's first victory of the season in Sunday's Round Eight. Gridding third for the standing start on Sunday, Baldwin split the front row to lead the field into Turn One. Despite ongoing pressure, Baldwin only lost the lead once and then only for two turns. The record will show him on point for the entire 50-minute, one-class race for smaller displacement, road-based racecars. Teammate Buz McCall (Boca Raton, Florida) finished 12th and 16th on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, in the No. 72 GTSport Racing Porsche Cayman S. Jack Baldwin, No. 73 GTSport Racing, Porsche Cayman S: 'Our Porsche Cayman S really performed well this entire weekend. I have to give a lot of credit to my GTSport Racing crew, we hit the setup dead on and we got the kind of results we were looking for. In Round Seven, the car was good but in Round Eight the car was even better. We got the best start we have probably ever gotten in Pirelli World Challenge and when I was out front I drove as hard as I could. It was great to win another race for Porsche and GTSport Racing.' The next race weekend will see the Pirelli World Challenge joining the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship on the temporary street course in Detroit, Michigan on Belle Isle. The race, which will focus on the GT class only, will host Rounds 10 and 11 on May 30-31. Pirelli World Challenge GT/GTA Results – Round 8 (Saturday) 1.
