The ALMS team moves to historic Road America in Round 7 of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patron. With consistent finishes, Team Falken is looking to gain more points in the GT championship.
“The American Le Mans Series continues to be a learning session for us, but we remain strong and extremely determined,” declared Rod Everett, Falken ALMS team manager. The manufacturer-supported team continues to develop its Porsche 911 GT3 RSR with Porsche Works and Falken team driver Wolf Henzler, and his partner, team driver Bryan Sellers.
At Road America, the Porsche will compete on specially prepared Falken AZENIS RT slicks and race on the classic circuit in the two-hour, 45-minute event on Sunday, August 22. Qualifying is set for Saturday, August 21. The famous 4.08-mile road course has been a favorite among all competitors as speeds reach record highs. Team Falken will again set out to qualify and finish well in the GT class.
Road America has enjoyed a long run as one of North America’s most demanding road courses and has played host to numerous professional and amateur race series. The venue is the second of three ALMS races in a four-week span, as the teams next head into Canada to Mosport. The season finale is Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, September 29 – October 2.
The ALMS Powered by eStar race will run live on SPEED, Sunday, August 22nd at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time.
