Quotes
I was saving my tires because I thought if it doesn’t rain, the track will get more dry and degrade the tires. So I picked up my rhythm in the first stint, and after the pit stop, I pushed 100 percent. The car was there, and I could pass Richie (Antinucci) and open up a gap. I’m very happy. My tires were quite good. I tried to understand where to use a little bit of a dry line and where not to so I didn’t damage the tires so much. It was good. I did risk a lot in traffic, trying to build a gap. That’s part of the race. I had to try to extend because you never know at the end.
I’m so happy to have wrapped up the championship. I really can’t thank Change Racing, Lamborghini Carolinas, Monster Energy Drink enough for this year. It’s been an amazing run so far. We’ve got two more in Sebring and then the World Final. I’m truly looking forward to that.”
“This is the worst conditions for guys sharing a car. Last year I lost a race the exact same way. I jumped in the second half of the race, and I had no references. It takes three laps to get up to speed, and that’s how we lost the race. But it’s good — we’re still leading the championship, by far.
“We are only focused and committed to customer racing. For us, GT3 is the pinnacle of our strategy. We are excited to make this next step in North America as our motorsport program competes for the first time in Lamborghini history in the 24 Hours at Daytona and in multiple full-season GTD efforts.”
“I’m very proud to have the opportunity to grow our relationship with Lamborghini and complement our Super Trofeo program with a GTD effort for 2016. We’ve been fortunate enough to build a resume and footprint in the North American Super Trofeo Series and this is a logical next step for us. Lamborghini Squadra Corse has a very talented group supporting its customer-racing program. I have a lot of confidence in Lamborghini Squadra Corse and its vision for 2016.”
“We are very excited that O’Gara Motorsport will be participating in the inaugural season of the Lamborghini GT3 program in North America. We’ve won several races this season and have led the championship since the first race of our inaugural season of competition as a team. I’m confident that our GTD team next year will continue to showcase their hard work and commitment to achieving the winning tradition that we expect in our organization. We are also happy to create an opportunity for drivers to advance their careers after achieving success in our Super Trofeo program. Our team and I are looking forward to this next challenge.”
“I’m very happy to be back at Daytona with such a famous brand as Lamborghini. We do have a strong relation with Lamborghini that started back in 1991. We know Daytona well. We have raced there 16 times including the last three years. We also managed to win our classes and we are confident we can keep up our positive streak. Here in Europe we race in Super Trofeo and we are very happy with the product. The natural choice was to move on to GT3 racing. We will line up a car with the possibility of adding a second one.”
