Wiedemann GTP Fitzlaff LMP 2015 Champs

The 2015 ISF season came to a close Thursday with the crowning of two champions.
John Wiedemann won his first GTP title and Mike Fitzlaff won his second LMP title.

Fitzlaff finished out his impressive 2015 campaign with another win in the LMP division. While not quite as dominate in the LMP division as he was in the F1 division (he only won 10 races out of 12 he entered), there wasn't much doubting he would win the title. He did so by winning the pole and main event as other drivers tried but couldn't keep up with the pace of the veterean.

Wiedemann had a harder time putting the cap on his championship. He came into the event with a one point lead on Everet Kamikawa and two points on Mike Lack. One challenger fell off when Kamikawa didn't advance from his heat race. Lack won the pole position meaning Wiedemann would have to fight to keep him behind him in the points. Wiedemann and Lack both won their heat races so going into the final Wiedemann still had his two point advantage. Rookie Pete Dorn would help end Lack's challenge as the rookie raced clean and fast and overtook Lack for a career high second place finish. Lack had to settle for third with Dean Strom fourth and Fitzlaff fifth, while Wiedemann took his second GTP win this year to seal his first title.

The 2015 ISF season saw one veteran win his first title, one veteran having the most dominate season in league history. Four rookies took part including the win by one.
The 2016 ISF season will be a strong one!
Until next time...it's not bad being in the pits!
