Daytona is upon us! This week kicks off the 2023 season with the Roar Before the 24, which is the official test for the Rolex 24 at Daytona. I’m excited to head down to Daytona later this week, where I’ll be joining Jim Jonsin and Brett Sandberg at Automatic Racing.
We’ll be driving the very loud No Limits Aston Martin Vantage GT4 (click here if you missed the announcement). Joining Automatic Racing is a homecoming for me, but I’ll have new teammates, which means the Roar will be an important opportunity to work through our checklist as we prepare for next weekend’s race.
Things like driver fitment, driver changes, setup characteristics, and finding the right handling balance to suit each driver are all part of the bigger list of tasks and information gathering we’ll be working on. It’s going to be a busy test!
And, of course, the week after the Roar will be our four-hour IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge race. I’m looking forward to competing at Daytona once again, since last year’s Michelin Pilot Challenge race there left me with some unfinished business.
Another exciting facet of the team is Jim’s promotion of the new song No Limits, featuring Kid Rock and others. Jim has been a longtime racer, and he’s also a successful music producer. I can’t wait to get down to Daytona and get started!
