LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. – Michael Lewis reunites with familiar faces as he will compete in the National Auto Sport Association’s 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race, Dec. 2-3, at Thunderhill Raceway Park.
Lewis rejoins Bob Faieta and his Competition Motorsports team, who gave Lewis his start in American sports car racing in 2014, in the No. 98 GT3 Cup car, part of the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama.
In addition, Lewis will team with drivers Preston Calvert and Andrew Davis, his 2016 Pirelli World Challenge teammates.
Kurt Rezzetano will complete the driver lineup as they compete in the No. 73 Porsche 991.1 GT3 Cup car, a spec Porsche designed for racing, which is similar to the 911 GT3 R Lewis, Calvert and Davis drove in October at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
This GT3 Cup car, which will run on Yokohama tires, has been modified with additional headlights and other driver aids to compete in this 25-hour race.
“We are looking to win it with a good field of drivers,” said Bob Faieta. “We’re preparing to be the most reliable car on the track and avoid the penalties.”
