Looks like the Cayman is moving up as development continues.
BGB PORSCHES FINISH IN THE TOP TEN DURING MEMORIAL DAY EVENT AT LIME ROCK
PARK
(Ormond Beach, FL, USA - April 30, 2010) BGB Motorsports teammates Stewart
Tetreault and Guy Cosmo finished 6th, as the highest placing Porsche during
Saturday's 220 mile Lime Rock Park Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge
Series race with teammates Steve Jenkins and Jean-Francois Dumoulin
finishing in 9th. The potential for three Porsches in the top-10 was there,
but those hopes were dashed for teammates Keith Carroll and Duncan Ende when
their run was derailed by an impatient competitor during the first hour of
the race. The #23 Cayman S was sent behind the wall for repairs and came
out shortly thereafter. Following the first round of pit stops for all
three cars, the trio of BGB Porsches ran nose to tail for the remainder of
the race as Cosmo, Dumoulin and Ende all put together strong runs to lock up
a solid finish for all three cars. While #23 and #38 Porsche Caymans have
had their ups and downs in the 2010 Team Championship points standings, the
#83 PerformanceDrink.com Porsche 997 moves up two more spots to occupy the
6th place in the Championship, as teams put the first half of the 2010
season behind them and move forward for the final 5 races of the year. Team
Manager John Tecce had more to add:
"We were all looking forward to this event as it's close to home for some of
us. We had this race won in 2008 but an issue with the timing and scoring
system robbed us of it and we felt we had unfinished business here. We're
really proud of all of our drivers; it's unfortunate that the #23 was taken
out because we had the potential to put 3 cars in the top 10 for this event.
We'll move on and look to redeem ourselves at Watkins Glen. While we did
not attend the 2009 event at the Glen last year, we did win it in 2008 and
we're going to look to repeat that feat if at all possible."
Saturday's race was underway just after 3:00pm. The threat of rain loomed
over the picturesque 1.5 mile Lime Rock Park facility, as the hill above
turn 3 was packed with spectators about to get their money's worth. Steve
Jenkins, driver of the #38 BRM Watches/Laps.com Cayman qualified 13th, with
teammate Keith Carroll in the #23 Racer's Roast Cayman behind him in 17th.
Both BGB teammates Keith Carroll and Stewart Tetreault improved their
season- best qualifying positions; Tetreault started his Porsche 997 in 26th
place. While Tetreault got tangled up in some door banging early on before
settling into a groove, BGB Cayman teammates Jenkins and Carroll paired up
and ran some of the fastest laps of the race during the first 20 minutes of
competition. Keeping clean and moving up through the field, both drivers
experienced their best stints of the year thus far.
Around the one hour mark the skies began to open up and rain began to fall,
but never enough to bring teams in for rain tires. Pit stops and driver
changes were executed first for Guy Cosmo and his Porsche 997, as the Long
Island native resumed racing, following the race's first of only two caution
periods. At the 1 hour mark another full course caution came out
immediately after the contact with the #23 of Keith Carroll and another BMW
competitor, and while that car went behind the wall, the BGB crew revised
operations on the fly and serviced the two remaining Porsches. Standing in
for Craig Stanton, Jean Francois Dumoulin resumed the race in the #38
Porsche Cayman. Despite not having much time in the car prior to the race,
the veteran Porsche pilot got acclimated quickly and was on pace shortly
thereafter. Teammate Duncan Ende returned to competition after repairs were
made to the #23, and all 3 teammates drove the BGB Porsche train, moving up
one spot at a time. With one remaining fuel stop required for all
competitors, final stops were made with 30 minutes to go in the 2.5 hour
race. Without a final caution period to bunch things up, all 3 BGB cars had
to settle with what they had accomplished.
With the level of competition this year, BGB's performance at Lime Rock has
the team feeling positive as they head to Watkins Glen International Raceway
today. Saturday's race at the famed 3.5 mile circuit will begin at 10:15am
on Saturday morning. Qualifying is on Friday evening at 5:10pm. The race
will be broadcast on SpeedTV the following Sunday on June 13th at 1:00PM,
EST, while live timing and scoring for Saturday's race can be found at

On a related note, I just read on my facebook page that Intercontinental Trophy Cup series has just signed their first two car P1 team, and rumor has it that they have a seat open in their second P2 Cayman. Friend them on facebook or check their website.
