Kevin To Perform BMW Shakedown At VIR Bosch Engineering Octoberfest
*
YORK Motorsport's Kevin York will be helping V-Pack Motorsport during the upcoming Bosch Engineering KONI Challenge Octoberfest at VIRginia International Raceway.
Driving a newly rebuilt BMW Z4 long distance racer, Kevin will shakedown the car for team owner, John Vincent.
Vincent has asked Kevin to jump in and put some testing miles on the car ahead of this weekend's final round of the 2009 KONI Sportscar Challenge season.
"I'm pleased to be able to offer my assistance to John and his V-Pack Motorsports." Kevin related from his Charlotte office. "I'd have loved to be racing it as well this weekend but last-minute budget shortfalls precluded that. At least I can help the team sort the car out."
The Grand-Am KONI Sports Car Challenge is Grand-Am's showcase for the latest in international and American-made high performance sports cars, coupes and sedans straight from the dealer showroom floor. With major modifications permitted only in the area of safety, the KONI Sports Car Challenge is home to the same cars seen on streets and highways around the world every day.
The 2009 season marks the ninth year that Grand-Am has owned and sanctioned the KONI Sports Car Challenge, previously known as the Grand-Am Cup Series from 2001-2006 and KONI Challenge Series from 2007-2008. KONI signed on as the title sponsor of the series in late 2006.
The starting fields for KONI Sports Car Challenge races typically feature more than 60 of today's hottest import and domestic production cars that usually race together while competing for both class honors and the overall victory. Series races are primarily run as the featured support events for the Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16. However, the KONI Sports Car Challenge continues step into the spotlight with a few feature races of its own in 2008.
All KONI Sports Car Challenge classes run on Hoosier tires, and at least two drivers must drive in each competing race car under green flag conditions, making at least one driver change mandatory. KONI shocks are mandatory beginning this season.
