special,” said Cameron. “In the unified
series and in GTD, it’s a great series
and championship to do that. To be
the first to do that is even more special.”
The extremely competitive GT
Le Mans class was remarkable in that
no driver repeated as pole winner
during the 2014 season. The class win
went to German driver Wolf Henzler
at the wheel of the #17 Team Falken
Tire Porsche 911 RSR. For Henzler and
his co-drivers, American Bryan Sellers
and Germany’s Marco Holzer, this was
their first class win.
Despite holding the lead in the
GTLM driver’s championship standings, the driving team of Jonathan
Bomarito and Kuno Wittmer, who
were fresh off a win at Circuit of the
Americas in the #93 SRT Motorsports
Dodge Viper SRT, were split up, with
the Canadian Wittmer driving the SRT
Motorsports’ #91 car, in order to better
the odds of a championship win.
“Definitely the feeling is quite
extraordinary,” said Wittmer about
winning the GTLM driver’s championship. “It hasn’t sunk in yet. I think I had
tears in my eyes for about half an hour
there on the timing stand. To be honest, to be crowned champion in the
TUSCC for the first time is special. It
showcases just how great the championship really is. It showcases how
competitive our class is. To be honest,
I’m a bit upside down on emotions
due to the fact that Jonathan can’t be
sitting beside me. He deserves it just

as much as I do. We worked all season
to be in this type of position to get a
point lead. Strategically we got split
for Petit, which makes sense, because
one of us did win. We had the SRT
Viper right up there at the top of the
charts. It’s quite exhilarating to fight
against world class drivers and top
teams. Here we are, we can only hope
to do it again in 2015.”
