Verstappen Sim Racing handed IMSA Esports win after Grid and Go’s disconnection woes

As the IMSA Esports Global Championship headed to Watkins Glen for its third round of five, both GTP and GTD championships were becoming two-horse races.

Bleu Mercure Esport had the lead in both, heading Grid and Go-backed efforts by 13 and 23 points, respectively.

The first big moment of contact came after five minutes for the GTP championship leaders, as BME hit BS+ Competition going into the Bus Stop, effectively ending the latter’s race.

BME also briefly led in GTD, though BS+ regained it before their first stops, where the lead remained unchanged.

Not long after, the window for GTD’s final stops was open, a cycle started by championship leaders Bleu Mercure.
