    The start of the big event, the SprintX race, was drama filled in Turn 1. As many races at COTA are. The Calvert Dynamics Porsche 911 GT3 R sprays pea gravel after an incident at the top of the hill. Their day was done with just one turn completed.© Rip Shaub - All Rights Reserved

    Overall SprintX winner for Saturday, the TR3 Racing Ferrari 488 GT3, has a Tower of Pisa themed wrap. Appropriate since drivers Daniel Mancinelli and Niccolo Schiro are both Italian. In fact, the entire team is Italian, minus two Americans and two South Americans.© Rip Shaub - All Rights Reserved
