SRT Motorsports has finalized the driver lineups for its two factory Viper GTS-Rs in this year's American Le Mans Series and highly anticipated return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.

Marc Goossens and Dominik Farnbacher have been tabbed for full-season driving duties in the No. 91 car, joined by Ryan Dalziel for Sebring, Le Mans and Petit Le Mans. The No. 93 Viper will be driven by Jonathan Bomarito and Kuno Wittmer for the entire ten-round ALMS season, with Tommy Kendall reinforcing the duo for the three major enduros.

Additionally, Kendall will serve as an extended team leader and brand ambassador for SRT.

“SRT Motorsports is truly one team with two cars,” said Beth Paretta, Director of Marketing and Operations, SRT Brand and Motorsports. “The changes we’ve made for 2013 better aligns the dynamics of each driver which we think will enhance the success of each car and the team overall.

"Our team chemistry is undeniable and is something we realized the first time we went to the track last year. We feel extremely confident that our drivers are matched well for their strengths which will provide the best results on the track.”

All six drivers are fresh off an encouraging test at Sebring last month and gear up for the car's debut in the ALMS season opener on March 16.

“While we were pleased with the progress of our program in the four races last year in preparation for a full season in 2013, the changes made in the off-season and the two test sessions this year have produced some significant results,” said Gary Johnson, Road Racing Manager, SRT Motorsports.

“The next step is to see how we stack up against the competition and the 12 Hours of Sebring certainly provides that kind of test by challenging both driver and machine for 12 grueling hours. Our two-car team returns to Sebring with a new level of optimism.”
