 SEBRING,
Florida (March 18, 2010) — When last we saw Ryan Dalziel in the American
Le Mans Series, it was 2005 and he was in a Corvette. This Saturday the
Scotsman returns to the series in a British marque, as he joins JaguarRSR
for their full debut season alongside Marc Goosens. And he’s very pleased
with the way the car is running this weekend. “I’ve done about 40 laps in
the car this weekend,” he said. “We set some goals for speed that we
realistically thought we could achieve, and we have exceeded them already.
The car is easy and comfortable to drive; I have driven this track in a
number of different cars, and this one is by far the easiest on the driver,
an important feature in a 12 hour race.”

At first I would like to thank ADAC EuroSpeedway circuit at Hockenheimring,
for their great cooperation with provided accreditation, swift results at
media centre and a pleasant experience all around. Concerning provided
accreditation I especially appreciated the help of Mr. Hartmut Tesseraux,
Wolfgang Huter and Yvonne Blaull. I hope to continue this cooperation in the
future.
The third weekend of April 2010 was held a great event for all lovers of
motor racing, espec ially
Formula One, at Hockenheim in Germany. The circuit is 4.574 m – see details
at picture no. 1. Besides this historic racing event there was also Kimi
Räikkönen´s pity with his tyre in last lap during race held there in 2004
there. Most people can remember the very sad pity that took him certain
victory as well as needed points into his driver championship in 2004.

SEBRING, Florida (March 18, 2010) — Jerry Vento, owner and driver of
the No. 88 Velox Racing Porsche GTC, fresh off the track from an unexpected
stint in the Patrón GT3 race, considered his answer to the question “Why the
ALMS?”
“It was a number of things,” he said with a smile. “Because everyone who
runs in the ALMS has a chance -- two chances: slim and fat.” Then he added,
“I had a taste for racing from running HST; then we did races in the Patrón
Challenge Cup last year. Meeting Shane [Lewis] was a big factor in my
decision. Shane and I went to Le Mans to test an LMPC car for another team,
and that was great fun, but we ultimately decided that the GTC was the right
car for us.”
