Briefs: Lewis takes fifth

Michael Lewis of Laguna Beach concluded his first season in the Pirelli World Challenge (PWC) driving the No. 41 EFFORT Racing/Curb-Agajanian Porsche 911 GT3 R to a fifth-place finish at the famed “Corkscrew” at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey.

During the season, Lewis earned six top-five finishes and 13 top-10 placements. His best performance was at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach in April for Round 5 of the PWC, where he finished in fourth place. That finish sent him from the GTA ranks of the amateur drivers to the GT Pro category where he competed for the remainder of the season.

Lewis also was the highest finishing rookie of the GT class this season, finishing eighth overall in a field of 47 competitors.
