Mid-Ohio produces fourth straight ALMS win for Gil de Ferran and Simon Pagenaud

From Autoweek: Gil de Ferran and Simon Pagenaud went flag-to-flag Saturday to win the Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, their fourth consecutive overall victory in the American Le Mans Series. Team owner de Ferran qualified on the overall pole position, and the pairing won at Mid-Ohio for the first time in their careers.

The victorious team boss crossed the finish line in the de Ferran XM Acura ARX-02a 8.358 seconds ahead of PatrĂ³n Highcroft Racing's David Brabham and the Acura that he drove with LMP1 championship co-leader Scott Sharp.

Adrian Fernandez and Luis Diaz won their fifth LMP2 race of the year and were third overall in the Lowe's Fernandez Racing Acura ARX-01b. The class championship leaders won the race with a short-fill for fuel on the race's final caution period while running second. The Acura was the first car out of the pit lane, beating the de Ferran Acura and receiving a free pass by the safety car, which had to pick up overall leader de Ferran.
