The team’s #37 Morgan-Nissan chassis has proven to be very quick at the higher speed circuits such as Le Mans and Mosport, and with Road America having some of the longest straights and fastest corners in the calendar the team is hopeful that they will once again be the car to beat once the weekend gets started.
Heinemeier Hansson made his series debut at the picturesque 4.048-mile last year in the GTC category but this year he will have to relearn the track in the much faster and powerful P2 car. For Plowman it will be his first time around the Road America track but the experienced Englishman has proven to be a quick learner and scored pole position the last time he was in a track for the first time (Mosport).
The weekend activities for the Road America Road Race Showcase will begin this Thursday with an open promoters test. Official practice begins Friday followed by qualifying which will take place at 4:35pm (Eastern) and will be streamed live on ESPN3 and XBOX Live. The green flag for the four hour race will drop Saturday at 3:30pm (Eastern), the race will be streamed live on ESPN3 and XBOX Live. The tape delayed TV Broadcast will be this Sunday at 2:00 PM (Eastern) on ESPN2.

“I’m looking forward to coming back to Road America. I did my very first ALMS race there last year in GTC, so it’ll be fun to be back in a P2 car and see just how different it is. I think Road America is a good fit for the Morgan-Nissan with lots of high-speed straights and corners. We’re certainly going to do our best to repeat the Mosport win and get back on the top step of the podium.”

“Road America is probably the track that I have been looking forward to race on the most In this year’s ALMS calendar. I’ve never ran there before, but everybody says how great it is and from what I can see from videos and from iRacing it looks like a lot of fun. I’m just going to go out there and give it my all to take the #37 car back to the top step of the podium, we have all the tools and the right people AND we just need to piece the weekend together like we did in Mosport”
