Kuno Wittmer, GT Le Mans class champion from last season, will replace James Davison in the No. 007 Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 car of TRG-AMR for the remainder of the 2015 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship season.
A fantastic drive by Wittmer at last month's Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen preceded this decision by team owner Kevin Buckler. Wittmer made his debut with the team at Watkins Glen as he filled in for Davison who was racing in the Pirelli World Challenge round at Road America.
“James Davison has filled a great role with the team since first coming on board in 2013 but with his increased schedule and focus on other opportunities and roles, the very tight competition in the TUDOR Championship GTD class, and our increased sponsor commitments, we needed to make sure that all focus was on achieving our team, driver, sponsor, and manufacturer goals for the balance of 2015 season and beyond," said Buckler.
The next round of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship takes place this weekend at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, but only Prototype, Prototype Challenge, and GT Le Mans will compete. Hence, the next race for GT Daytona and the new driver lineup for TRG-AMR will be the following round at Lime Rock Park.
