Robertson team to run Ford GTR in ’08

Robertson Racing is proud to announce the acquisition of a new Ford GTR (which will be car No. 40) built by Kevin Doran in Lebanon, Ohio. David and Andrea Robertson, owners of Robertson Racing, will be joined by a third driver for the 2008 season. Dick Barbour Racing will continue to operate this campaign from their Braselton, Ga., location. Construction already has started and the car is expected to be delivered before the end of the year.

Currently running a limited race season this year in the No. 53 Panoz Esperante GTLM, the Robertsons have used their GT2 time at Sebring, Detroit, Road Atlanta and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to familiarize themselves with the American Le Mans Series and the “way things are done" in this world-class organization.

“We are very excited about the new car and the introduction of the GTR in to the American Le Mans Series," the Robertsons said. “Kevin Doran’s organization is an excellent group to work with and is just as thrilled as we are with this new car."
