Spirit of Daytona Racing Ready for Rolex 24 At Daytona

Porsche V8-Coyote on 8th row as AMA Champs ready for four-wheel enduro challenge

Daytona Beach, FL 22 January 09 – The Spirit of Daytona Racing No. 09 Porsche V8-powered Coyote will start the 47th Rolex 24 At Daytona from the eighth row after Guy Cosmo set a fast lap time of 1:42.475-seconds around the 3.65-mile road course at Daytona International Speedway. Cosmo will be sharing the driving duties with a triumvirate of motorcycle champions as Jeff Ward, Scott Russell, and Jason Pridmore will take on the Rolex 24 starting on Saturday afternoon in the AMA Motorcycle Team-liveried Coyote.

The fifteen-minute qualifying session set the top 20 positions for both the Daytona Prototype and GT Class grids, with the final qualifying spots up for grabs on Friday. The Rolex weekend is a home event for Spirit of Daytona Racing, and the team is looking to improve on their performance in the 2008 race event, which saw the team score the highest Porsche-powered finish in the Daytona Prototype class. With new faces in the car, and a new look outside of it, Spirit of Daytona is focused on doing well in the big battle over 24 hours starting on Saturday.

“The car is still not where we want it to be yet, but we made some solid strides again today,” said Cosmo. “We’re focused on having a car that is not only good over a long tire run, but also one that’s good for all four drivers. So we might compromise a little on one-lap speeds, but at the end of the day that doesn’t really matter for this race. We just need to be able to run lap after lap at a sustainable pace, so where we start really won’t factor into that.”

The lap time was over two and a half seconds faster than the team went in qualifying last year as the development program for the Coyote-Porsche V8 continues to increase pace.

“This is the first time we’re racing with this new bodywork, so we are learning what the car likes and just trying to find a balance that’s good for all four guys,” said team owner Troy Flis. “We were hoping to be a little bit closer to the front with some of the times we did in practice, but we’re happy to have made the progress that we have so far. The car has run like a train so we’ve been able to make good use of the track time we’ve had available and that’s vital for us to be ready for Saturday. This race is a huge challenge, and we’re just looking to get going, set a pace, and learn as much as we can.”

Friday will see two Rolex Series practice sessions before the race action kicks off at 3:30 PM ET on Saturday. FOX will bring live coverage starting at 3:00 PM before SPEED picks up coverage starting at 4:30 PM.

Guy Cosmo To Drive Rolex 24 with Spirit of Daytona Racing

Photo by John Thawley “Put me in, coach!”

(Daytona Beach, FL) 19 January 09—Guy Cosmo will once again be driving in the Rolex 24 At Daytona with Spirit of Daytona Racing as the Palm Beach, Florida-based racer will join a trio of motorcycle champions for the twice around the clock classic next weekend.

Driving a Porsche V8-powered Coyote chassis, Cosmo will be teamed with Jeff Ward, Jason Pridmore, and Scott Russell. While his three co-drivers are legends in the motorcycle ranks, with scores of AMA championship titles to their credit, the threesome is making their first Daytona Prototype start in the biggest test of man and machine.

Cosmo is no stranger to his co-drivers, having been tapped to serve as set-up driver and coach in several tests leading up to the big event. He was expecting to play that same role right through the running of the race, but instead will be suiting up to do duty as a co-driver as the team looks to not only score a strong result in the 24, but to also continue the development of the machine as the Rolex Sports Car Series season develops.

“I’m really happy to be driving in this race for Spirit of Daytona Racing,” said Cosmo. “We made a lot of progress during the test and the guys (co-drivers Ward, Pridmore, and Russell) have soaked everything up and shown their colors as being true champions. I just want to help make sure we are where we need to be set-up wise, and then get out so they get as much track time as possible before the race starts. They are still looking to get more seat time and keep building that confidence, so hopefully they will get more than enough come race time! I was happy to spot for the guys, but this is an even better opportunity for me and I’m just looking forward to a long two days in the office this weekend!”

Thursday, January 22 will kick the race activities off with practice and qualifying, with the race taking the green flag at 3:30 PM on Saturday. FOX will carry live coverage of the opening stages of the race before handing off to SPEED to continue the live broadcast.

Guy Cosmo Ready for 09

Continues relationship with Spirit of Daytona in 2009

(Daytona Beach, FL) 2 January 09—As a new year dawns, one racer is charged up to take on what’s next as Guy Cosmo looks ahead to the upcoming Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series season.

Cosmo will be in action this weekend as the Rolex racers take to the track for Daytona’s “Roar Before the 24” to get warmed up for the Rolex 24 At Daytona, which will take the green flag at 3:30 PM ET on January 24. Cosmo has been confirmed as part of the Spirit of Daytona Racing entry for the 47th running of the endurance classic, although his role with the team will see Cosmo putting a different side of his skill set to use once the race starts.

Entered along with a triumvirate of motorcycle champions, Cosmo will be behind the wheel during the test days and leading up to the 24 to help with set-up decisions on the unique Porsche V-8 powered Coyote with fellow Sprit of Daytona Racing drivers Scott Russell, Jason Pridmore, and Jeff Ward as the three motorcycle champs share the behind the wheel duties for the Rolex 24.

While Cosmo will miss being a part of the driving squad for the 24-hour challenge, he sees the situation that will see him coaching and spotting for the 24 as an important element of his opportunity to continue his involvement with Spirit of Daytona Racing and the development of the Porsche V-8 powered Coyote.

“The relationship I have with Troy (Flis, Spirit of Daytona Racing team owner) is great and being loyal to this program is something that’s really important to me,” said Cosmo. “That’s key to me as a person at the track, or away from it. And the chance to develop a completely different package is one that you just don’t get that often in your career so I’m looking forward to what we can accomplish at Daytona and then taking those lessons and continuing to move forward through the season.”

The team is expected to confirm in the coming weeks a 2009 Rolex Sports Car Series program that will see the No. 09 Porsche V8-Coyote in action through a limited schedule of races. Cosmo will be leaned on as the lead driver to not only work with his co-driver to get the most out of the car, but to also keep pushing the potential for the package with Spirit of Daytona engineers and crew.

“It’s rewarding as a driver to be part of that process and it’s also its own challenge to stand out as a racer in this kind of situation,” said Cosmo, who scored two top-six qualifying results with the machine in 2008. “We showed last year that this Coyote Porsche V-8 has some real potential, and I’m excited to turn that potential into performance and results.”

While the checkered flag from the KONI Challenge 6-Hour at VIR seems like it was ages ago, the pace hasn’t slowed one bit for Cosmo in the meantime. In addition to his work with the team focusing on the continued development of the Porsche V8-Coyote package, Spirit of Daytona Racing has also engaged Cosmo as a coach and set-up consultant as the team prepares the motorcycle champions with some limited testing in the off season.

The role of coach is not a new one for Cosmo, who has also used the brief off-season to continue to develop his Cosmo-Sport enterprise. Cosmo-Sport manages track events as well as retail and driver development programs, and has continued to grow during the fall and winter months.

Guy Cosmo Named To Drive Extreme Motorsports Ferrari GT in ALMS 2010

EXTREME SPEED MOTORSPORTS NAMES DRIVERS: SCOTT SHARP, JOHANNES VAN OVERBEEK, ED BROWN AND GUY COSMO
New Ferrari F430 GTC Completes First Test Yesterday at Sebring

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (December 17, 2009) – Extreme Speed Motorsports, the new race team created and owned by veteran race car driver Scott Sharp, has revealed the driver lineup to compete for the team in the American Le Mans Series’ GT2 class in 2010. The announcement follows a successful day of testing the team’s first new Ferrari F430 GTC at Sebring International Raceway – the car’s first run on American soil after arriving from the factory in Italy.
 
“The Ferrari F430 is beautiful, and definitely one of the best handling cars I have ever driven,” Sharp said today. “The team is incredibly enthusiastic about our relationship with Ferrari, and I’m very excited that we are already hitting the track, testing.”
 
The team will compete with two cars, one piloted by Sharp and Johannes van Overbeek, and the other with Ed Brown and Guy Cosmo behind the wheel. Tequila Patrón, a longtime supporter of motorsports racing, has signed on as a sponsor, along with Ferrari Corse Clienti and the team’s official tire sponsor Michelin.
 
Scott Sharp
Sharp, who last season helped Patrón Highcroft Racing bring home the ALMS LMP1 Championship victory, began racing karts at the early age of 8. His celebrated career on the track has included racing in the Champ Car series, and the Indy Racing League (including nine IndyCar event wins and 35 top-five finishes, along with 14 Indianapolis 500 starts) before he began competing in the American Le Mans Series in 2008.
 
Johannes van Overbeek
Sharp’s partner Johannes van Overbeek began his racing career at age 23, purely as a hobby. He’s since become one of the world’s top-ranked Porsche drivers, competing in the American Le Mans GT2 series with Flying Lizard Motorsports since 2005. He has amassed six wins in the ALMS, and has finished in the top five 54 times in 77 starts.
 
“I'm very excited about joining ESM and Patrón in the ALMS. Scott has been working tirelessly to ensure that we have all the tools in place to be successful,” commented van Overbeek. “Having been a part of a successful start-up team in the past, I know it won't be easy but I look forward to contributing to ESM's long term success and working hard to ensure that Patrón's investment in the team and the series is maximized.”
 
Ed Brown
Ed Brown will drive the team’s other full-time Ferrari 430 GTC, with partner Guy Cosmo. Brown is formerly a Patrón GT3 Challenge by Yokohama driver who made his debut in the American Le Mans Series in 2009 in the GT Challenge class with ORBIT Racing. Brown’s best finish in the GT Challenge class last season was in the runner-up position at Lime Rock Park.
 
“There’s nobody in racing today more passionate and committed to this sport than Scott Sharp, and I can’t think of anybody else I’d rather be racing with than the talented and professional team we’ve assembled here,” said Brown.
 
Guy Cosmo
Guy Cosmo is also a former ORBIT Racing driver, competing last season in the No. 47 Porsche 911 GT3 cup in the ALMS Challenge class, where he took 3rd place in the championship. In the ALMS, Cosmo has been on the winner’s podium twice, and has finished in the top five 17 times in 19 starts. In 2005, he won the American Le Mans Series Rookie of the Year award. In addition to being an accomplished driver, Cosmo is also a leading driving instructor.
 
“Joining Scott Sharp's Extreme Speed Motorsports for the 2010 American Le Mans Series GT2 championship is a great opportunity,” added Cosmo. “This program is exactly what I've wanted to be part of for several years now. It's the ultimate trifecta; Patrón-sponsored, Ferrari-driven, and in the American Le Mans Series. What more could a driver ask for? I'm really looking forward to contributing to the team and making this program a success.”
 
Commented Sharp, “This is such an incredible time! We have been able to formulate an incredibly strong team in short order, but not only do we have the best drivers in racing, we also have unbelievable support from the league, and from our partner sponsors. What a combination – Patrón, Ferrari and Michelin – the premium brands in each of their markets.”
 
Michelin is the recognized leader in developing technologies that help provide the right tires for competitive motorsports.
 
“Extreme Speed Motorsports is thrilled to add Michelin as a technical partner to our team,” Sharp added. “After driving on Michelin’s for the last two seasons, I know how important it is to run on the best tires out there, and having them on our cars will immediately bring confidence to everyone on the team.”
 
The American Le Mans Series opens its season in 2010 with the 58th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida on March 20.

Cosmo, Three Motorcycle Stars Test for Spirit of Daytona

Three motorcycle legends tested together for the first time Monday at Daytona International Speedway, preparing for a probable run in the 2009 Rolex 24 At Daytona. Ricky Carmichael, Scott Russell and Jason Pridmore are spending three days taking turns behind the wheel of the No. 09 Spirit of Daytona Porsche Coyote - and are enjoying every minute of the process.

"I'm pretty excited to come back," said Carmichael, a five-time winner of the Daytona Supercross By Honda. "Obviously, I'm not as nervous. There were some things I needed to improve on from the minimal laps I had last time (during Open House in September). I did a little bit better from last time, and I'm still trying to learn and get a good evaluation. It was much smoother today. When we apply a little more speed to it, we'll be ready to go."

Carmichael spent the season racing in the NASCAR Camping World East Series, and is preparing to run the next two years with Kevin Harvick Inc. in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

While Carmichael's only prior outing in Grand-Am was at Open House, Scott Russell has been a regular in the paddock throughout the season - helping with spotting while learning about four-wheel racing.

"I feel a lot more comfortable every time I come here and get in the car," said Russell, the first five-time winner of the Daytona 200 By Honda. "I've still got a lot to work on as far as lap times go, and getting smooth in the car. But it's coming around, and I'm enjoying it. I've improved a second and a half this time from the last test. I'm still quite a ways off, but that's a good sign if I can knock off a little more every time I get in."

Pridmore's lone test in a car was with Spirit of Daytona recently in Savannah, Ga. Monday's session was his first here in Nomex instead of leathers.

"This is so much different being on a bike around this place, and it's going to take a lot getting used to," said Pridmore, a two-time supersport 750 winner here. "The hardest thing for me is the idea of being strapped in and not being able to move around a lot. We've got a lot more freedom on the bike. Still, the lines and stuff aren't really that drastic. We're running the old Daytona course that we raced back in the day, and it felt like home again."

Joining the two-wheel legends at the test was Guy Cosmo, who was the Spirit of Daytona's regular driver in 2008.

"This is a real fun process," Cosmo said. "These guys are new to this kind of road racing, and they're new to racing on four wheels, but the interesting part to me is that they're champions, absolutely masters at their craft and what they do. So, their process of adapting to four wheels and this car and these tires is really impressive, because they're not rookies."

Carmichael, Pridmore, and Russell Test With Spirit of Daytona Racing

Porsche V8-Coyote put through paces with two-wheel aces this week at DIS

DAYTONA, FL, 27 October- Spirit of Daytona Racing is looking to get a fast start to the 2009 Rolex Sports Car Series season with three days of testing this week at Daytona International Speedway.

The familiar Spirit of Daytona Racing No. 09 Porsche-V8 powered Coyote will be put through its paces by regular team pilot Guy Cosmo as well as three superstars from the world of motorcycle racing as Ricky Carmichael, of Clearwater, FL, Jason Pridmore, of Ventura, CA, and Scott Russell, of Atlanta, GA will all be behind the wheel during the test days on the 3.56-mile road course at DIS to continue preparations for the 2009 Rolex 24 At Daytona to kick off the Rolex Sports Car Series season.

This weeks test marks the second time this month that Spirit of Daytona Racing has hit the track, as Pridmore and Russell joined Guy Cosmo in testing in Savannah two weeks ago.

“The guys ask a lot of questions and are very methodical in their approach,” said Cosmo. “They progress exactly how you would expect professionals would. They have no ego whatsoever in terms of what they are doing in the car, even though they’ve all had the careers that they’ve had on bikes. There is no reason not to expect them to be good at this as well. The other important thing is that they are having a lot of fun, and I think that’s helping to feed their progression. Hopefully we’ll be able to get a good baseline set up and that the guys get a lot of good track time this week.”

Utilizing a motor-chassis combination that showed both remarkable reliability as well as flashes of speed in a partial 2008 Rolex Series campaign, Spirit of Daytona Racing will focus on another strong result in this years Rolex 24 At Daytona after bringing home a top-ten finish in the 2008 event. The team is still working to finalize plans for the 2009 Rolex season, but is excited about the opportunity to be involved as two-wheel stars become four-wheel Rolex Sports Car Series racers.

“From what we saw at Savannah, they definitely have the talent to be doing this,” said Flis. “We are looking forward to the test this week to just keep moving their curve along and getting as much seat time as possible for these guys. We’re not really focused on these guys getting in a super lap time nearly as much as we are concentrating on just getting them comfortable with the car, and being able to find the limits of what they can do, and what the car can do.”

The test will not only be a good exercise for the guys getting time in behind the wheel, but the team is also looking forward to the chance to gel in preparation for one of the sport’s greatest challenges.

“We’re building our team up and this test isn’t just about getting the guys more experience on this track, because it’s also a good opportunity for them to get to know the guys working on the crew as well and get everyone working well together as a team,” said Flis. “That’s a small thing, really, but you never know what the 24 might throw at you, and the team has to be ready for anything so that chemistry and teamwork can turn out to be really important, so we’re happy to get this chance to test here on the home track.”

The testing runs from 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, and 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Event information: http://grand-am.com/rolex/schedule/event.cfm?eid=855

This is the first of three off-season tests for the Rolex Series at Daytona. Teams will test with 2009 specification Pirelli tires Nov. 11-12 and then again for the Jan. 2-4 session, the last major session prior to the 2009 season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona, set for Jan. 24-25.

Cosmo Takes Two Top Tens to Close Out KONI 2008

(Alton, VA) 8 October 08—Guy Cosmo was in high demand this weekend as he was called to duty to race in both segments of the Bosch Engineering Twin Six-Hours at Virginia International Raceway to close out the 2008 Grand-Am KONI Challenge season.

Teaming with Andrew Carbonell in the Next-Generation Motorsports BMW 330i, Cosmo brought home a tenth place finish in the ST class race on Saturday after 146 tours of the 3.27-mile natural terrain road circuit. The result was compromised, particularly on the tracks two long straights, as the race wore on and revealed that the motor was well on its way to the powerplants own final laps and wasn’t delivering full power. But the BMW still made it to the checkered flag after Cosmo and Carbonell hustled the car through the corners to make up as much as possible for the lack of straight line speed.

Sunday’s final GS race of the year witnessed Cosmo rejoin Daytona Beach-based BGB Motorsports to share a Porsche 911 with Mike Piera as the team posted a two-car entry. The race sported championship implications, as the sister No. 83 of Jon Miller, Craig Stanton, and John Tecce was looking to deliver a KONI driver championship for Stanton.

At the start of the six-hour enduro, Cosmo and Stanton ran in lock step, setting a fast pace and working to create a gap to the championship contenders.

“That was some of the most intense running I’ve done in a long time, with Craig and I chasing the leaders for nearly that entire stint,” said Cosmo. “Craig had a chance to take the championship right until the final laps and the team was obviously doing everything possible to put him in position to do that. Unfortunately that meant that our final pit stop was delayed a bit and I got back out on track pretty deep in the pack, but I was able to make up a few spots and finish in seventh.”

After a 2008 season that saw Cosmo busy with coaching, Daytona Prototype competition, and KONI Challenge events, he was happy to close out the year with a solid weekend of racing.

“It was great to be back with the BGB guys again this weekend,” said Cosmo. “It’s been a few years, and I was really impressed with how the team has raised their game since the last time I raced with them. The organization that the team showed, and the preparation of the equipment was all top-notch. It was a really great car. It was too bad the championship didn’t go Craig’s way, but it was still a good way to end off the year, running a strong car to the finish at VIR.”

Cosmo Pumped up About Double-Duty Close Out to 2008

Next-Gen Racing on Saturday, With BGB Calling Cosmo to duty on Sunday
 
(Alton, VA) 2 October 08—Racers love nothing more than seat time, the chance to brag, and then more seat time. And this weekend, Guy Cosmo will barely have time enough to brag as he has been called into action for both feature races in this weekend’s Grand-Am KONI Challenge season-ending Bosch Engineering Twin 6 Hours at Virginia International Raceway.
 
After racing in both team entries during the Grand Prix de Trois Rivieres, Guy Cosmo has been tapped once again by Next Generation Motorsports to share the controls of the BMW 330i with young up and coming racer Andrew Carbonell, who scored his maiden KONI Challenge pole two rounds ago at New Jersey Motorsports Park. The ST–class entry is one of 45 cars slated to race on Saturday, with a green flag set for 2:00 PM.
 
Next Generation Motorsports, previously Fountain Motorsports, will once again be sporting two entries for the six-hour enduro with Hawk Brakes, Rogue Engineering, and Marren Fuel Induction supporting the effort.
 
“This weekend is going to be a blast,” said Cosmo. “Two six-hour races-who could ask for more? I’m excited to be in the Next Gen car with Andrew, I think he’s going to be a really strong teammate and I know he’s raced well at VIR before. Hopefully we can just get into a good race pace and be there at the end for a strong finish. I really want to help Jeffery Bock (team owner) show what this team is capable of, and I’m glad he’s giving me the chance to do that on a track that’s just so much fun to race on.”
 
But even after 6 hours of ST-class racing on Saturday, the weekend will be far from over for Cosmo, as he is also slated to compete in Sunday’s GS-class edition of the Bosch Engineering weekend with BGB Motorsports in a Porsche 911.
 
Cosmo has long-standing ties to the team, having brought them their first-ever KONI Challenge race win in 2003 at Mt. Tremblant before going on to back that up with another KONI race victory the very next round at VIR.
 
“It’s like a reunion that’s five years in the making!” joked Cosmo. “I’ll be in the orange 911, so everyone will be able to see us coming. I haven’t raced with BGB for a couple of years, so it’s going to be fun to be back with those guys. I think that car will be good on the long runs here for the six hour, and hopefully I’ll be going for my second podium of the weekend!”
 
A promoter test day will open the weekend on Thursday, with Friday hosting a full day of practice. Saturday’s race will go green at 2:00 PM, with Sunday’s race starting with an 11:00 AM green flag.
