Bryan Sellers, Driver, No. 17 Team Falken Tire Porsche 911 GT3 RSR “There is nothing about Petit Le Mans that is an endurance race other than the distance. From the drop of the green flag it is an all out door-to-door race. It is a very demanding race, physically and mentally; it is by far one of the most difficult races of the year. With the heavy competition and the extreme pace it completely forces your hand in how you have to play the race. There is no other option than to push as hard as you can for as long as you can otherwise you will go laps down quickly. There are a lot of contributing factors that have gone into the 911's success at Petit Le Mans. First and foremost is the reliability of the car. Although the race is treated like a sprint race in terms of how you approach it, it still has the DNA of an endurance race and reliability is a must. Porsche has always prided themselves of their ability to finish races, and attrition at Petit is generally high. Porsches are there at the end, when it counts.” Jens Walther, President/CEO, Porsche Motorsports North America “The 12 customer programs racing Porsche 911-based racecars here this weekend are among the best in the sport. They have provided very good results for us beginning with Team Falken Tire’s podium at Sebring through to the most recent podium with CORE autosport at VIR. The GTC class has never been more competitive with a tight title chase between veteran teams Alex Job Racing and NGT. Another longtime Porsche operation, TRG, has won the last two races adding to this weekend’s story for Porsche. While we are looking forward to the 2014 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, our focus right now is to give the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR and the previous generation 911 GT3 Cup car a proper sendoff with victories in the Petit Le Mans.” Alex Job, Team Owner, Alex Job Racing, No. 22 WeatherTech Porsche 911 GT3 Cup “GTC has been the most competitive it has been since the categories inception four years ago. I think this is attributable, in large part, to the strength of the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Series. The drivers that have moved up from GT3 Cup Challenge like Cooper MacNeil and Henrique Cisneros have made the GTC class that much more competitive. The first stints of the GTC races have gotten as competitive as when the true pro drivers are in the cars at the end. Coming into the season we knew that we probably would not be able to wrap up the championship by VIR like last year. Like in all good championship runs it comes down to the final race. We are looking at Petit Le Mans like Long Beach, VIR, Road America or any of the other events on the schedule. We are prepared for an all-out sprint race. If you try to go conservative and someone goes all out, especially in a spec class like GTC, you are probably going to lose. The only variable, like in all of our races, are the things you cannot control, like the aggressive nature of the other four classes on the track.” Kevin Buckler, Team Owner, TRG, No. 66 & No. 68 Port Lavaca Group/Viper Exchange/Adobe Road Winery Porsche 911 GT3 Cup "We're on a roll because we are doing everything right. We had some missteps at the beginning and in order to win at this level you have to do everything perfectly. We are going to Petit Le Mans with the same team and the same desire to win as we have had all year. Petit Le Mans has turned into an extraordinary event in all areas. And the Series has done an amazing job in building it up and promoting it. Winning in 2010 was a great memory but also taking two of the top podium spots last year. GTC has really turned into a world-class platform for a pro-am combo. This class features some of the best drivers that I have ever seen in their respective categories. Watching some of the best Porsche pilots on the planet race nose-to-tail for over an hour at the end of the race is epic. It is just that close every weekend. To beat these guys you have to do everything perfectly" Porsche Profile. Road Atlanta and Porsche Motorsports With 12 GT victoriesand three LMP2 winssince the first Petit Le Mans in 1998, Porsche is the most successful manufacturer at the Road Atlanta classic. Joerg Bergmeister (Germany) has set the benchmark with five wins in a row from 2003 to 2007 with Alex Job Racing, White Lightning Racing and Flying Lizard Motorsports. With the Porsche RS Spyder sports prototype, Porsche also celebrated three straight victories in the LMP2 class from 2006 to 2008 at Petit with factory driver Romain Dumas (Germany) finishing second overall in 2007 and almost running down the overall race-winning Audi on the last lap. Even Porsche’s 911 GT3 R Hybrid won its experimental class at Petit Le Mans. The history of Porsche motorsports and Road Atlanta dates back to the first days of the Georgia-track. On September 13, 1970, the best drivers were competing at Road Atlanta’s first event: Vic Elford, Denis Hulme, Peter Revson and the sole Porsche in the field, a Porsche 908 with race winner Tony Dean. A huge crowd gathered to watch the most sophisticated cars of the day turn 75 laps on the brand new circuit, and Porsche take the checkered flag.

In the year of the company’s most extensive motorsport programme ever the motorsport squad headed by Dr Wolfgang Ullrich thus has the chance to achieve a historically outstanding tally of success in the sport. Sunday, 5 October 2008, 3:13 p.m.: on a single weekend, Audi clinches two victories that are linked to the magic name of Le Mans. At the French “Circuit Bugatti”, at the tenth race of the DTM, Audi factory driver Mattias Ekström in the A4 DTM crosses the finish line in first place with a 4.25-second lead. The day before, Dindo Capello/Allan McNish/Emanuele Pirro in the Audi R10 TDI at the “Petit Le Mans” race at Road Atlanta in the U.S. state of Georgia have already clinched victory ahead of rival Peugeot after a remarkable recovery. The two events have notable parallels: in both cases Audi’s victories are associated with “Le Mans”, in both cases the respective main rival is defeated in a direct fight – in the DTM it is overall runner-up Paul di Resta in the Mercedes, in the ALMS it is Peugeot.

  • Audi R8 LMS Wins Again at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife
    Communications Motorsport Jürgen Pippig Eva-Maria Veith Telephone: +49 (0)841 89 34200 Telephone: +49 (0)841 89 33922 E-Mail: [email protected] E-Mail: [email protected] www.audi-motorsport.info Audi R8 LMS wins again at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife • Phoenix Racing wins the GT3 class in the 24h race • No luck during the race in fight for overall victory • Only two of the seven Audi R8 LMS on the grid make the finish Ingolstadt/Nürburg, May 16, 2010 – The Audi R8 LMS remains as best in class in the 24-hour race on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife: Also during its second outing in the “green hell”, the world's longest and toughest race track, the mid-engine sportscar crossed the finish line as winner of the GT3 class (SP9). With third place overall in Phoenix Racing's Audi LMS R8 Marc Bronzel (Siek), Luca Ludwig (Roisdorf), Dennis Rostek (Porta Westfalica) and Markus Winkelhock (Berglen) presented the team with an unexpected surprise since this quartet did not even number among the favorites before the race started. The conservative and mechanically easy going driving style of the Phoenix squad, however, paid dividends: The Audi R8 LMS with start number 97 ran – apart from a small electronical problem during the opening stages – with the smallest technical problem. Of particular note was the performance of DTM driver Markus Winkelhock, who, after only landing a drive in the Phoenix team at the last moment, drove constantly fast lap times without any experience of the Nordschleife and in the closing stages convincingly defended the class lead.

  • Press Release April 29, 2012 No
    Press Release April 29, 2012 No. M 23/12 International GT Open, Races 1 and 2 in Portimao/Portugal Perfect start to the season for Porsche customer teams Stuttgart. Two races, two wins: the European customer teams headed into the new International GT Open season with great success. The big winners of the race week- end were Porsche works driver Marco Holzer (Germany) and Nick Tandy (Great Brit- ain) driving for Manthey Racing. In the Autodromo do Algarve, the German-British duo won the 70 kilometre race on Saturday as well as the 20 kilometre shorter sprint on Sunday in the 911 GT3 RSR, the top model of Porsche customer racing. A triple victory to Porsche at Sunday’s race crowned the season-opening weekend. 35 vehi- cles from eleven different marques were at the start. The French IMSA Matmut Performance team were delighted with their second place on Sunday. At the wheel of the 911 GT3 RSR, factory pilot Patrick Pilet and team boss Raymond Narac (both France) shared driving duties. Position three went to the Italian outfit Autorlando Sport, who contests the series with the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. At the same time, this handed the Italians victory in the GTS class which is based on the FIA GT3 regulations. The 911 GT3 RSR competes in the Super GT class which is for more powerful vehicles and is based on the FIA GT2 regulations. “It’s just fantastic to kick off the new season with maximum points,” says a thrilled Marco Holzer. Particularly on Saturday, the 22-year-old and his 28-year-old team- mate Tandy, both GT Open rookies, gave a brilliant performance.
