24h Le Mans
After lmp2 victory in the sebring 12 hours, ( third overall ) behind the two audi r18 tdi, starworks motorsport tops the fia world endurance championship class standings after the first round.
With its unforgiving surface and its historical heritage, Sebring is daunting prospect for any competitor competing for the first time ... where even the most experienced can be caught out. This makes to the feat accomplished by Stephane Sarrazin, Ryan Dalziel and Enzo Potolicchio, all the more impressive, as they raced to victory in a 'baptism of fire'.
Enzo Potolicchio (driver Honda ARX-03b, Starworks Motorsport, winner LM P2 and 3rd overall) “A couple of weeks ago, we didn’t think we were going to make it here because so many parts were missing and then to get third overall and first in class is amazing. The work that Peter Baron does, and the motivation he brings to the team, is huge. It is a blessing having Ryan and now Stephane in the team, bringing all my dreams to reality. I was really happy with my first stint. I thought I should have done better with my second stint, but the last time I was here was in 2001 with a small Formula Ford 2000. Ryan pushes me a lot to get better, but this is unbelievable.”
Peter Baron (Starworks Motorsports Team Principal): “It’s really an amazing story. We were still unpacking boxes to finish the car six days before the race. We had a few gremlins which kept us from testing, which really meant our first laps to work on the car’s speed were Thursday. We basically had no spares for the car and any damage could have sent us home. Our drivers did an incredible job in the race keeping the car up there all day, and free of damage.“
