New rides for Jean-François and Louis-Philippe Dumoulin

There were some major changes for the Dumoulin clan this past week.

First, Jean-François will have a solid car to defend his Rolex GT win a the Daytona 24h next year as he was hired by Blackforest Motorsports to drive alongside Tom Nastasi and David Empringham at the wheel of a Mustang Cobra GT. Jean-François should also be behind the wheel for the remaining of the season, including the Montreal event and the car should be on display in Trois-Rivières for the Koni Challenge week-end.

With that move, a seat was available in Carlos de Quesada's Porsche and it will be filled by Louis-Philippe. He will try to help them defend their Rolex GT title for the 24h race.

Camirand and Dumoulin at Daytona this week

Winter hasn't begun yet but fear not, the Grand Am Rolex Series is already in preparation for the 2008 campaign. Two days of testing (Nov. 14th and 15th) are organized this week at the Daytona International Speedway road course and both Marc-Antoine Camirand and Jean-François Dumoulin are on site to run the test.

Camirand will drive the Fabcar Porsche #9 for Spirit of Daytona, alongside with Guy Cosmo.

Dumoulin will be testing the GT3 Porsche #22 for Alegra Motorsports / Fiorano Racing, sharing the driving wheel with Carlos de Quesada and Scooter Gable. The team won the GT class in the 24 Hours of Daytona last year with the same driver lineup.

The Dumoulins also at Miller Motorsport Park with Alegra Motorsport

The Dumoulin brothers will also be at Miller this week-end and in separate cars as well. Jean-François will drive the a Porsche GT3 with Carlos de Quesada while his brother Louis-Philippe will share the second Alegra Motorsport Rolex GT entry with Kris Wilson.
