I am very happy about the new car and can hardly expect to climb back again in the cockpit of our fantastic Ford GT. However we have extremely strong opponents in our class, but I am very confident that we have a chance to fight for the podium“, according to Dirk Müller.
The six-kilometre-long „Sebring International Raceway“ in Florida, established on the former airport area oft he Hendrick Army Airfield, makes to the man and the machine the highest demands. Teammates in the Ford GT with the #66 will be once more Joey Hand and Sebastian Bourdais.
