After two days of testing at Daytona International Speedway, BAR1 Motorsports owner, Brian Alder is very pleased with the team’s results. Here preparing two cars for the upcoming Rolex 24 at Daytona, January 24-25, BAR1 is sorting through two cars and a full compliment of drivers.

“We’ve got a rather ambitious month ahead of us,” noted Alder. I’m really happy with our driver lineups and so far, the weekend is shaking out pretty good. The #16 car driven by Johnny Mowlem, Tom Papadopoulos, Tomy Drissi and myself, is right in the mix with the front runners. The #61 is on pace as well with Martin Plowman behind the wheel leading the group of Marc Drumwright, Chapman Ducote and Cody Ware.”

“That said,” added Alder, “you’re never really sure what the true benchmark is a test like this. I’m sure there’s a little bit of poker going on and no one is going show their hand. It’s just how these things work. But it’s a good opportunity to get the drivers comfortable… with the car and with each other. But I’m sure we’ll be trying out lots of different setups once we get back here at the end of the month.”

The team will partner with TOP1 Oil, Autosport Designs and Southwest Realty Advisors. Other sponsors will be announce prior to the Rolex 24.

IMSA announced their television lineup for the Rolex 24 stating a two-hour FOX broadcast network telecast will kick off more than 15 total hours of live FOX Sports television coverage of the 53rd Rolex 24 At Daytona on Jan. 24-25.
