Tomy Driss Back In The TruSpeed No. 47 The Sitter / Muscle Milk Porsche GT3 At Road Atlanta

Following a hard hit that ended his day early at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Tomy Drissi will charge back into competition for round 12 of the Pirelli World Challenge Series at Road Atlanta Friday September 30th., driving the TruSpeed No. 47 The Sitter / Muscle Milk Porsche GT3. The race is part of the 14th running of Petit Le Mans.

“We’ve been having great results since switching over to the TruSpeed team,” remarked Tomy. “The incident at Laguna Seca was a tough way to end the day, but the car did it’s job and I walked away with not injury and I’m ready to get back at it for Road Atlanta.”

A true road racer’s track, the 12 turn, 2.54 mile Road Atlanta offers all the elements drivers look for in a natural terrain course. Long straights combine with turns that wind through a number of elevation changes making for great racing for drivers and spectators alike.

“This is a great track,” noted Tomy. “All the drivers love racing here. It might favor the big horsepower cars a bit… the Corvettes and Cadillacs… but handling is still a big deal. There are a couple of corners that’ll help get you to the front… if you get them right, you can make up some good time.”

The racing gets underway Friday September 30th at 1:25 p.m. ET. It is a 60 minute time certain event. The race will air on Versus, Saturday, October 29 4 p.m. Eastern and also on www.world-challengeTV.com after initial broadcast.
