In the second event of the American Le Mans Series’ west coast swing, the teams are gearing up for a six hour battle on the winding curves and elevations of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. No driver is more ready to take on this circuit than Tomy Driss, driver of the RSR #9 Prometheus LMPC car. The competitors will take the green flag 1:30 p.m. PT on Saturday, May 12, on the 2.238-mile Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca circuit.

“I absolutely love this track,” said an enthusiastic Drissi. “This is a track you can really get into. You can run your own race with plenty of room to move. It’s just a great track.”

While presenting a great car to the grid, slower traffic has challenged the team in the season’s first two events at Sebring and Long Beach. Undaunted, Tomy and his teammates, Bruno Junqiera and Roberto Gonzalez are anxious to get on track and show what they can do.

“It’s really tough on a driver’s mood,” noted Tomy. “Control is a big thing to a driver. So when you’re derailed by something out of your control, it’s frustrating. We’re really looking forward to the challenge of this track and the six-hour endurance format. It’s such a good team and we have a great car and driver lineup. We’re ready.”

Fans will want to stop the RSR transporter during the ALMS autograph session and pick up an autographed copy of Tomy’s Prometheus poster created for this weekend’s event.

Tomy will also compete in this weekend’s round 4 of the Pirelli World Challenge championship driving the #47 TruSpeed Porsche carrying the livery for the movie Ice Age Continental Drift opening in theaters July 13.
