SRT Motorsports - Jonathan Bomarito: What Racing at Le Mans Means to Me

June 2, 2013 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -  The SRT Viper GTS-R is returning to competition in the world’s oldest active sports car endurance race – the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The event, first run in 1923, is set for June 22-23.

This is the first in a series of comments from the six drivers that will pilot the two SRT Viper GTS-Rs in the prestigious event. Today, Jonathan Bomarito, who will team with Kuno Wittmer and Tommy Kendall in the No. 93 SRT Viper GTS-R for the 24-hour race, explains what racing at Le Mans means to him:

“It’s just an absolute dream come true to be racing at Le Mans. The reality is starting to set in that I’m going to get to do the race for the first time. As a race car driver, it’s one of those races that’s at the top of everybody’s list."

“It all comes back to the history of motorsports and sports car racing. Le Mans is the pinnacle. When you look back at all the winners and manufacturer support over the years, the history of the race is just incredible. Now, to be a part of that and having your name in those record books is very special.”
