Foametix Racing Returns to Daytona 24

For their third year in a row, Foametix Racing will return for a shot at glory at The Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona.

Featuring drivers Jack Baldwin, Claudio Burtin, Martin Ragginger, Dominik Farnbacher, and Mitch Pagerey, the team set a fastest lap time of 1:49.627 during the Roar Before the 24 official test at Daytona on January 8-10. Having qualified for the race third last year, and running with Alex Job Racing, a team synonymous with success in Porsche GT cars, the team is headed to the race as one of the front-runners.

“Our lineup for this year is one of the best in the paddock” stated Foametix driver Claudio Burtin. “We’ve got a great lineup of youth and experience in our car, and hopefully we can claim a good result, we’re due.”

Re-uniting for their third year in a row, the lineup of Baldwin, Burtin, and Ragginger is a formidable one.

Joining the duo will be drivers Dominik Farnbacher and Mitch Pagerey. Farnbacher, from Germany, comes as the 2005 Rolex 24 GT winner, and Mitch Pagerey comes from several years of racing Porsches in the IMSA Patron Challenge, as well as regional events.
