Gavin returns to SDR for Daytona

Oliver Gavin, Richard Westbrook and Antonio Garcia will once again join forces after being confirmed as part of Spirit of Daytona’s line-up for next year’s Daytona 24 Hours.

The Corvette trio all raced for the team in last year’s event, stealing into a narrow lead at the quarter distance mark before eventually fading to eighth at the finish.

Ricky Taylor, who scored three wins in Grand-Am last season, will complete the four-strong complement for the 2013 event.

“I’m excited to be back with the SDR team for the Rolex 24,” Gavin, the 2012 American Le Mans Series GT champion, said. “I’m also looking forward to spending time with Ricky Taylor on the same team.”

SDR team owner Troy Flis expressed his delight as the four-strong line-up.

“I couldn’t be happier with our complete driver line-up and am really looking forward to carrying our momentum from 2012 into the 2013 season,” he said.

“Olly has experience in the Corvette DP and with the team; [he] is part of the Spirit of Daytona family.”

The Spirit of Daytona squad will test at the ‘Roar Before the 24′ at Daytona on January 4-6, 2013.
