Doug Fehan, program manager of the most successful race team in the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patr¢n, will speak Thursday to students at Long Beach City College’s Alternative Transportation Technology Center from noon to 1 p.m. The event is held in partnership with the Long Beach Clean Cities Coalition.

Fehan, who directs operations for Corvette Racing, will deliver a presentation to aspiring alternative fuels technicians from LBCC and Cabrillo High School. The presentation will focus on engine technology, alternative fuels, future of the auto industry and career opportunities.

Fehan and Corvette Racing are in town for the Tequila Patr¢n American Le Mans Series at Long Beach race that is part of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach race weekend. The race is Saturday 16 from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m.

Corvette Racing has been a dominant force in GT racing the last decade. It has won a record 72 times since the Series’ inception in 1999, including eight consecutive GT1 season championships from 2001-2008. It has also captured more wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans – six – than any other current ALMS full-season entrant.
