“It was a typical Sebring, a real rollercoaster of events, ” said Dyson Racing’s Guy Smith of the team’s return to its Porsche roots for the first race of the 2007 American Le Mans Series season. The Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring was both encouraging and challenging, as the team’s pair of Porsche RS Spyders ran at a good pace, but on-track contact with other cars and too much time in the pits put victory out of reach.
Dyson Racing, one of sports car racing’s top independent teams over the last 20 years, gets its next crack at victory at this weekend’s Acura Sports Car Challenge of St. Petersburg.
“We were very encouraged by the pace of the Porsche RS Spyders at Sebring, ” said Chris Dyson, Smith’s teammate in the No. 20 entry. “The cars are clearly quick enough to take P2 victories this year. Unfortunately, we suffered a few mechanical issues and some on-track incidents, so we weren’t able to contend for the class win. “
