Alex Job Racing, McKenna Porsche Look Forward to a Repeat American Le
Mans Series Mosport Performance
Early season dominance in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) GT class has helped the #23 911 GT3 RS Porsche, and teammates Sascha Maassen and Lucas Luhr, stay ahead of the rival BMW V8 M3s, despite a few disappointing outings. A podium finish two weeks ago in Portland did help extend the duo's point lead.
"As we expected, the V8 BMWs are showing even more strength as the season wears on," said team owner Alex Job. "But, we had a very good outing here last year, even in the rain. We are looking forward to a repeat performance no matter what the weather holds in store."
"No doubt we had a dream weekend last year," Pobst added. "I am looking forward to getting back on track with my co-driver Christian Menzel here in Canada."
"I would like to thank McKenna Porsche for their support this year," Job said. "Without their help, we certainly wouldn't be in the position we are today: Leading the GT class drivers points standings.
