Second place with full success ballast for CorvetteRacing feels 'better than a win' last weekend at Spa, according to keatingcarguy: WEC
Corvette Racing's Ben Keating says second place in last weekend's Spa round of the World Endurance Championship feels"better than a win" considering the team's success ballast.After kicking off their campaign with back-to-back GTE Am wins at Sebring and Portimao, Keating and team-mates Nicky Catsburg and Nico Varrone finished second to the Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari of Luis Perez Companc, Alessio Rovera and Lilou Wadoux at Spa.
Keating said that Corvette's extra 45kg of extra ballast - 15kg for each of its two wins and an additional 15kg for leading the championship - gave the squad's Spa result extra significance. "We were a lap down a couple of times because I made the choice to go out on rain tires at the start because I thought it was the conservative, safe choice. It turned out to be the wrong choice and had to come in for an early stop.
