Oryx Racing Press Release
Oryx Racing is gearing up for the second race of the 2012 Grand-AM
Rolex Sports Car Series this weekend at the Barber Motorsports Park
circuit in Birmingham, Alabama.
The team with just one race behind them in the all new, Audi R8
Grand-AM, will come up against some of America’s most renowned and
competitive sports car teams. Commenting on the upcoming race, Al
Masaood said, “The first race at Daytona was all about gathering as much
performance data as possible which gave us a good knowledge base to
develop the car throughout the season. We hope to be more competitive
at Barber, but as always our goal is always to run without mistakes at a
consistent pace and work with the Audi engineers to further develop the
car.”
The 2.4 mile Barber Motorsports Park circuit is considered, one of
North America’s finest road courses. “I’ve never raced at the Barber
Motorsports Park.” said Al Masaood. “I have friends who live in the
lovely state of Alabama and I know how much they love their racing, it
should be a thrill to race the challenging circuit in front of an
enthusiastic and well informed crowd”
"I can't wait to get back in the car" Steven Kane commented, "we
learned a lot about the car at Daytona and had stong lap times but we
were hampered by the clutch problems. I am confident we can run near
the pace of the quickest GT cars at Barber and I am looking forward to
mixing it with the front running teams."
