AO Racing's racing_porsche 911 GT3 R will pay tribute to the 1983 Porsche 935 that won the Rolex24 at DAYTONA. IMSA
The team which is new to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship will begin the season with the white over orange livery of the 1983 Daytona 24 Hours winner, the #6 Swap Shop ANDIAL Porsche 935, driven by Preston Henn, AJ Foyt, Bob Wollek and Claude Ballot-Lena.
“I’ve literally grown up around the Swap Shop 935, Preston Henn and Alwin Springer,” reflected Jeanette. “To have PJ acquire the car from the Henn Family and for us to be able to do this tribute at our first 24 Hours with AO Racing and Porsche is very special. I hope all the fans can enjoy the livery and get to know the special story which this car helped create in 1983.”
After a quick briefing on the car’s shift pattern from crew chief Kevin Jeannette mid-race, Foyt joined the fray and set the fastest lap of the race in a downpour. In the end, the Swap Shop squad fought back from two blown turbochargers and a 12-lap deficit to take the checkered flag with a six-lap lead.
