Default TRG, AWE Tuning’s on-track partner, wins at Rolex 24 Hour at Daytona.



The Racer’s Group, AWE Tuning’s on-track partner, got the job done this weekend.

The number 67 Porsche, driven by Andy Lally, Spencer Pumpelly, Brendan Gaughan, Wolf Henzler and Steven Bertheau, came away with TRG’s fourth win at the Rolex 24 Hour at Daytona.

While no win at Daytona is easy, this one had its own challenges. The team overcame a horrible starting spot (dead last) and major mechanical issues (losing the clutch with 17 hours left) before taking the checkered flag.

A warm congratulations from AWE Tuning!

Default Great Race

Good coverage from Speed as well, although they could have started a bit earlier coverage on Sunday morning.

Any AWE components on the TRG cars?

No Sir. I am sure there are little tricks, but mostly a factory Cup.

I was wondering if AWE was at least making the exhaust headers or those little tiny mufflers. I guess not...thanks at least for being truthful.

When you say "tuning partner" exactly what does AWE do for TRG in terms of the race cars?

thanks!
