There is plenty of racing left in 40-year-old Sebastien Bourdais. In fact, he put in some overtime in the recent weekend on the streets of Long Beach.

Bourdais had his own personal “doubleheader.” In addition to competing in Sunday’s 45^th Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, a race he has won three times in his career, Bourdais also competed in the IMSA race on Saturday.

Bourdais drove the Ford GT for Chip Ganassi Racing, filling in for the team’s regular driver, Joey Hand after he came down with flu-like symptoms. Bourdais co-drove the No. 66 Ford with Dirk Mueller and finished fourth in the GTLM class in the BUBBA Burger Sports Car Grand Prix at Long Beach.

Bourdais returned to his regular job on Sunday and finished 11^th in the NTT IndyCar Series race, although the result wasn’t what he hoped for.

“It was a disappointing weekend,” Bourdais told NTT INDYCAR Mobile. “We were hoping for better than that. But starting 14^th was always going to be a difficult thing. There were fast cars up front and we didn’t have anything happen at the start where a few cars went off. It was a very static race.

“We had a bit of a miscue on the first stop. With a good stop there, maybe we finish eighth or ninth. Not much regret other than we need to qualify better. We missed a little bit of pace this weekend.”

The race essentially was green for the duration, with the exception of the first lap, and Bourdais tried to get past rookie Felix Rosenqvist during the second fuel stint.

“I tried and tried and tried on Felix, but he didn’t make any mistakes,” Bourdais said. “The Ganassi guys were keeping him posted on when I was using push-to-pass. He has experience, he knows what he is doing, and he played it well.

“There was no way past him.”

Bourdais said he had fun in the IMSA racing driving for Ganassi, especially after getting up to first place.

“That’s racing,” Bourdais said. “Sometimes, things don’t work out.

“I was trying to help the team. Joey was devastated that he couldn’t drive in the IMSA race and I just tried to help. It kind of worked out, but not all the way.”

Bourdais is one of Ganassi’s drivers in the IMSA endurance races, such as the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. The Long Beach race was one of the two shortest races on the IMSA schedule at 100 minutes in length. The other comes at Detroit as part of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix.

Bourdais sets his sights on Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the next two races on the NTT IndyCar Series schedule, including the May 11 IndyCar Grand Prix and the 103^rd Indianapolis 500 on May 26.
