Michelin Tires Guide Paul Miller Racing BMW to First GTD Pro Win

Watch Michelin’s video recap from Michelin GT Challenge at Virginia International Raceway…

The performance of Michelin tires in hot conditions and strategy by Madison Snow and Bryan Sellers helped them conquer the 18-turn, 3.27-mile road course at VIR. The win marked Paul Miller Racing BMW’s first in GTD Pro.

“Michelin always delivers a great tire and the best tire,” Sellers said. “The fact that they can hold up and their ability to hold up in these conditions is impressive.”

Snow and Sellers started on the pole and remained dominant throughout the 2-hour and 40-minute race, which had just one full-course yellow.

“At the end of the race, everyone was able to run just as fast as at the beginning,” Sellers said. “You know, it’s just what we’ve come to expect from Michelin.”

Snow and Sellers advanced their position in the championship standings, currently sitting in third with two endurance races left this season.

Michelin GT Challenge at VIR Results:
GTD Pro: No. 1 Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3, Madison Snow, Bryan Sellers
