Throughout the 90s, Dyson Racing solidified its position as one of North America’s premier sportscar outfits, winning titles in the IMSA World Sports Car Championship and USRRC Can-Am Championship, as well as the 2000 and 2001Grand-Am Series. It returned to the American Le Mans Series full-time in 2003, and has been one of its most consistent competitors ever since.
Now switching to the Porsche RS Spyder for 2007, Dyson is clearly hoping that celebrated run will continue. Developed at Porsche’s Research and Development Center in Weissach near Stuttgart, the 2007 model is an evolution of the sports prototype that won the ALMS LMP2 Championship this year with Penske Motorsports, scoring seven class wins and a one-two finish overall at Mid-Ohio en route.
“The 962 was an exquisite-looking race car,” noted Dyson. “And like the old aeroplane adage, if it looks right, it will fly right. It was a great car to drive and that is what Porsche does best, building ultimate customer race cars with their renowned engineering and support behind them.
“To combine that Porsche perfection with our successful tradition brings a whole new level of enthusiasm to our team for the upcoming season. This is a reuniting of old family members, building on our partnership of mutual respect and a shared winning history.”
