From press release
Joining a growing list of entrants in the GTD category of the 2014 United SportsCar Championship, California-based Global Motorsports Group (GMG) will expand their relationship with Audi by submitting an entry into the new series.
GMG, which took three victories with the Audi R8 LMS during this year's Pirelli World Challenge championship en route to a runner-up finish, is no stranger to endurance competition.
The team was a frequent competitor in the American Le Mans Series from 2010-2012 as well as having appeared multiple times at The Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Currently, the team has committed to long-time GMG driver Alex Welch as well as team owner James Sofronas, with the full driver roster to be named shortly.
“To take part in the debut of the TUDOR Championship would be a huge honor for our team,” stated GMG team owner James Sofronas.
“It will be great to take part in some of the world's biggest endurance races,” added Colorado-based Alex Welch.
With the series-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona just two months away, the team is currently undergoing preparation for the upcoming Roar Before the 24, with special development work being carried out at the Palm Springs-based circuit, The Thermal Club.
