Bennett Racing Debut Rolex GT race pictures from this weekend
This weekend Bennett Racing took the F430 to VIR for the debut race. It was a great success! The car suffered no fatalities and the crew worked together amazingly. Having no prior exp they really made it look like they knew what they were doin'.
The team qualified 15th during quals on Friday. We maintained status and finished 15th in Saturday's race, still "in the money" so to speak. The goal of this race was to feel the car out and learn as much as possible about the and the team working together. It was a great race. We managed to beat 4 professionally funded, professionally crewed teams. And we can only get better from here!
Here's a few pictures to start. I'll get some more together later
Sitting in the pit box watching the live timing. Pretty neat. It showed laps, if they upped on their lap, difference from the leader and their position, lap#s. Was exciting!

15th. Which is impressive. The ultimate goal of this race was to feel the car out. We were happy to have even finished. Now that the car's short comings are known we will hopefully be more competitive next race. However... to have still beaten 4 professionally funded, professionally crewed teams is a great feat. Our entire team is volunteering to be a part of this.
