To see where she started at the HPD Academy a few years ago to where she is now, she's made some 'mega' steps forward so I'm really proud for her. At Sebring, we were a bit down again, but finally we came here and turned it around one more time. But then we had another turn around at Road America, where we swept both races. From there, Watkins Glen was okay, but we had some problems that limited our performance there. I think it all began to come together for us at NOLA, which was good points for us and our first Pro/Am win of the season. I needed to learn in which direction we need to go and what would work for us. It started quite rough in Sonoma, For me this was a new series, with a different tire and race format, than I was used to in other series. Mario Farnbacher (#93 Racers Edge Motorsports Acura NSX GT3 Evo22), on today's race and 2022 Pro/Am championship: "It was an interesting year. In addition to this weekend's championship, Acura, its teams and drivers swept all six major titles in the 2022 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, including the overall Manufacturer, Driver and Team and the same categories in the Michelin Endurance Cup. The team retired the car with a damaged splitter in the final minutes, but was credited with an eighth-place finish in Pro/Am. However, a drive-through penalty for speeding in pit lane just past the three-hour mark saw the RealTime NSX fall down the Pro/Am class order, and the team was additionally delayed when Hagler had a late-race off-course excursion, which led to an extended pit stop for repairs. With newly-crowned Michelin Pilot Challenger TCR champion Taylor Hagler added to the driver lineup for this weekend, the #43 RealTime Racing Acura moved from the rear of the starting field to the Pro/Am class lead in the hands of Michael Cooper, who ran a double-stint to start the race. In the final hours, Farnbacher gained one more position, and the third-place finish was enough to secure the Pro/Am crown by eight points (217-209) over Wright Motorsports with drivers Jan Heylen and Charlie Luck. Running some of the race's fastest laps, he recovered much of the track position lost by the penalty before handing over to Harrison, who would alternate driving duties with two-time GTD champion Nielsen through the middle portion of the race as the pair moved up to fourth in Pro/Am. Starting seventh, Farnbacher ran with the overall leaders for much of the opening hour, but was assessed a drive-through penalty for contact with another competitor near the 30-minute mark. The podium finish secured both the SRO Fanatec GT World Challenge Presented by AWS Pro/Am Drivers' and Teams' championships for Harrison, Farnbacher and Racers Edge and became the seventh and eighth major North American road racing championships won this year by Acura, it's teams and drivers.
