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.

Marc-Antoine Camirand in Rolex at Miller Motorsport Park

Building a race car from the ground up in 45 days? It's the challenge Spirit of Daytona just completed prior to this week's Rolex race at Miller Motorosport Park. St-Leonard d'Aston native Marc-Antoine Camirand was part of the process and will be behind the wheel this week-end along with Guy Cosmo and Doug Goad. "I've driven the car a dozen times to set it up but it was now time to compare ourselves to other cars and see where we stand" Camirand said. He then added : "We won't be on pole at Miller this week-end but will get ready for next season and the 24 hours of Daytona. My deal with the team includes this race and 6 more next year [ ... ] I'm really happy to be racing again. I did a lot of private testing with this team but I was beginning to miss the real racing"
