Cytosport wants to continue its momentum

In Mosport, the Lola-Aston Martin from the Cytosport Muscle Milk team proved untouchable, winning the race hands down ahead of the two Lolas from Dyson Racing. But Sebring's poor performance is costly from an accounting perspective, and it will take more than one victory to get back on Dyson Racing and its Dyson-Smith duo.

This weekend at Mid-Ohio, Luhr and Graf will have no choice but to pocket a third victory this season. The Californian team will have another reason to want to shine on the Lexington track. Last year, she was unable to take part in the race after boss Greg Pickett's accident during practice on Thursday. Due to professional commitments, the latter will not be able to return to the wheel this weekend. “With my commitments with CytoSport and a race every two weeks, it is difficult for me to prepare as I would like, He explains. And if I can't be 100%, I prefer to leave my place. Plus, Lucas does a great job. It seems difficult to get it out now. »

Luhr will therefore be called upon again. The German will also be on duty at Road America, Laguna Seca and Petit Le Mans. Due to a clash of dates with GT1, however, it will not be present in Baltimore on September 2 and 3. His replacement will be announced in the coming weeks.

“At Mid-Ohio, our goal is simple: We want to win the same way as at Mosport, but by making it a little easier, explains the German. I really like this layout, and I think it should suit our Aston Martin. The Mosport race was not easy, but we made good progress with the car which should help us. »

Hostilities begin on Friday with the first free practice sessions. The race will take place on Saturday.
