From Pickett Racing
In the first of a series of announcements regarding Muscle Milk Pickett Racing's 2014 plans, the team is confirming its commitment to the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship and IMSA with a full-time entry into the PC class.
It will mark the second time that Pickett Racing fields a ORECA FLM09 PC car after doing a partial season, alongside its Championship winning P1 entry, in the American Le Mans Series at the beginning of 2012.
After many successful seasons in the American Le Mans Series in which it took home 21 wins, 39 podium finishes in 46 races and won back to back P1 Championships, Pickett Racing is thrilled to be taking on a new challenge in the TUDOR Championship, after having to bid farewell to its P1 car.
