With just over a week to go before the start of practice, the final pieces are being put into place for the 60th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, including confirmation of two of the leading teams in the GTC category.
Both Alex Job Racing and TRG recently finalized its driver lineups for the American Le Mans Series season-opener, which will see a total of three Porsche 911 GT3 Cup entered between the two Porsche powerhouse squads.
In addition to its WeatherTech-backed No. 022 Porsche for Leh Keen, Cooper MacNeil and JP Dumoulin, AJR confirmed that it will field a second 911 GT3 Cup car for Townsend Bell, Bill Sweedler and Dion von Moltke.
After Sebring, the No. 023 entry will move up to the GT ranks with Bell and Sweedler piloting AJR's new Lotus Evora GTE for the balance of the season.
"We wanted to get Townsend and Bill those valuable Sebring miles as we prepare for the Lotus Evora's debut at Long Beach," team owner Alex Job explained. "The communication with the team, how AJR works as well as just get comfortable with each other is the goal.
"Dion is someone whom we have wanted to get in our car for a long time. He is a fast driver and really helps to round-out the entry as one that can win the race."
TRG's solo entry, meanwhile, will see Spencer Pumpelly, Emilio DiGuida and Marc Bunting at the wheel, as the Kevin Buckler-owned team chases its elusive first class victory in America's oldest endurance race.
"We have come close several times so we want this one, and we want it badly!" Buckler sad. "When I think about all the great wins this team has had over the years at Petit Le Mans, Laguna Seca, Daytona, Road America and Le Mans, I become very focused on wanting to add this great race to our trophy case.
"We've got the drivers, the equipment and the team that can do it this year, and we are ready."
