The car will be taking in the Mosport. Mid-Ohio and Petit Le Mans races.<BR> <BR> "We know that the new car isn't quite fast enough yet," remarked Butch Leitzinger. "We've done some testing, but we need real-world experience with it to see what improvements we need. We're going into these races with our eyes wide open." <BR> <BR> 'Real-world' is an interesting expression to use for the ALMS.<BR> <BR> James Weaver will be partnering Leitzinger in the two shorter races.<BR> <BR> The Dyson car will receive a restrictor break for the two shorter events, but not at the Petit Le Mans. "That's a big incentive for teams like us to join in," said Leitzinger. "No one wants to have any special breaks with the factory teams; you want to take it to them on equal footing. But at this point in the development of our car, it's a good incentive."<BR> <BR> 1999 ALMS Chanpion Elliott Forbes-Robinson is the logical third driver at the Petit Le Mans.<BR> <BR> Weaver and Leitzinger lead the Grand Am Driver points by 27 and 14 respectively over Didier Theys, with one race left.<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
