  • SRT Motorsports Thursday Sebring Practice Report
    Contact: Adam Saal Bill Klingbeil SRT Motorsports Thursday Practice Notes Twelve Hours of Sebring at Sebring International Raceway March 12, 2014, SEBRING, Fla. - SRT (Street and Racing Technology) Motorsports ran through a thorough and complete schedule of testing Thursday with its Viper GTS-R teams at Sebring International Raceway in the opening day of practice for Saturday’s 62nd annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh from Florida. Placing an emphasis on team execution and pre-race preparation rather than an all-out pursuit for top speed, both the No. 91 SRT Viper GTS-R and drivers Marc Goossens, Dominik Farnbacher and Ryan Hunter-Reay, and the sister No. 93 SRT Viper GTS-R of Jonathan Bomarito, Kuno Wittmer and Rob Bell, were put through their preliminary paces of the weekend. The SRT entries posted their respective fastest laps of the day in Thursday’s morning practice session in which the No. 93 clocked in at 2:00.763 (111.491 mph) and the No. 91 lapped at 2:01.321 (110.978 mph). In total, the six drivers on the SRT lineup have a combined one victory, four podiums and nine top-five results in 22 career appearances in the 12 Hours of Sebring. Hunter-Reay co-drove to a victory in the LMP2 class in the 2011 edition of the endurance race and was the class runner-up last year. Both Farnbacher and Goossens have appeared on the podium at Sebring. This weekend’s race at Sebring marks the one-year anniversary of SRT Motorsports’ return to major-league sports car racing in last year’s 12-hour classic.
