 Busy Weekend For Farnbacher Loles At Miller
Farnbacher Loles Racing will be busy this weekend at Miller Motorsports Park with entries in both the American Le Mans Series and IMSA Challenge by Michelin as part of the Larry H. Miller Dealerships Utah Grand Prix presented by the Grand and Little America Hotels weekeknd.
Marc Basseng of Leutenbach, Germany, will drive the No. 87 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR with Dirk Werner of Kissenbrück, Germany in the ALMS race. He is excited about racing on the 3.048-mile Utah road course, after street races in St. Petersburg, Fla., and Long Beach, Calif. He hopes to match the speed of the Flying Lizard Motorsports squad that leads the GT2 class team championship.
“The track looks really quick and with a lot of corners, completely different from the street tracks. I think we’ll have to find a complete new setup for this kind of track,” he noted. “I hope we can get closer to the Flying Lizards in the quali[fying] and can keep up with the race pace like we did in Long Beach.”
Werner added, “I can’t wait to drive the Porsche in Miller, as I missed Long Beach and I enjoy driving these GT2 cars so much. I’m excited to see how fast the Porsche is at this track because of the modified 2008 aero[dynamics] and to see if we can beat the Ferraris. The team showed good speed in the first races, but we missed good results. I hope we can manage to fight for a podium in Miller.”
IMSA Challenge
Farnbacher Loles Racing has entered three cars for the two IMSA Challenge by Michelin races at Miller Motorsports Park this weekend. Tom Pank of Walkersville, Md., will drive the No. 42 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, Darrell Carlisle of McLean, Va., will be behind the wheel of the No. 43 Porsche and Paul Orwicz of New Canaan, Conn., will race the No. 47 Porsche. |
