Frisselle's co-driver Gardel, will be making on his second start in the series having made his Rolex Sports Car Series debut in the 2008 Rolex 24 at
Daytona co-driving the #77 Doran Racing entry with Gidley and Jaeger.
“I have not raced at Mexico City before but I am excited about competing there because it has a long history that includes
Formula One,” he said. “I am preparing as much as possible without actually driving on the tracks by watching in-car videos that I found on YouTube and driving many laps on my Playstation. We know we have a lot of work ahead of us, but I am looking forward to working with Burt and Kevin and getting the most out of this package. Burt knows all the tracks and that will be a big help for me -- it's always good to have a fast teammate.”
The two cars the Doran Racing team will field in Mexico City look the same, but are different underneath. The #47 car is all-Dallara, while the #77 car is a Doran chassis fitted with Dallara bodywork featuring enhanced aerodynamics and increased downforce. Both cars are powered by 500 horsepower Roush-Yates Ford V8 engines.
