APR Motorsports at Daytona Testing

Published February 26, 2008 in GTI, Grand Am Series and Volkswagen. 0 Comments

We found a great video from Garage419 which focuses on the new 2008 APR Motorsports effort. The video features footage from the Daytona Test Days, interviews with Randy Pobst and Ian Bass. Randy even breaks down the GTI for us in terms of the class regulations. *Hint: stock

It’s a great insight about the series, the car or APR Motosport.

Here’s to a successful, fun and safe season.

One of the leading VW, Audi, and Porsche tuning and engineering firms in the world, APR, is entering professional racing with the formation of the APR Motorsport. Garage419 met up with Team APR, including drivers Randy Pobst, Ian Baas, and Mark White, during pre-season testing at Daytona Speedway as they were fine tuning the three VW GTI race cars which they have entered in the Koni Challenge ST class for the 2008 Grand Am Series.
