Motorsport Week has chosen which competitors ‘won and lost’ from the IMSA SportsCar Championship’s Battle on the Bricks in Indianapolis.
The six-hour race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course was unquestionably the most action-packed event of the year, featuring 56 entries across all four IMSA classes. Despite heavy rainfall and thrilling wheel-to-wheel battles, unexpected winners emerged, creating a memorable spectacle. GTP and LMP2 classes were the focal points, with Goldburg’s #22 Oreca facing challenges but managing to stay competitive. United Autosports USA’s strategic advantage as the only LMP2 team with two cars played a key role in their performance. The race saw dramatic moments like Di Resta moving up to third before a collision forced him to pit, and the last-to-first victory of the fan-favorite green dinosaur, Rexy. Despite the challenges posed by six cautions, the race showcased the excitement and unpredictability that define sports car racing.
