Tuesday, 16 June 2009 |
Comprent Motor Sports driver Tom Drewer (Adelaide, AUS) piloted his Daily Planet sponsored Élan DP-02 to the fastest Lites 1 lap of weekend at New Jersey Motorsport Park’s Mazda Formula X event.
The young Australian, who won the 2008 IMSA Lites 2 Championship, proved he can match and beat the best of the Lites 1 category on Sunday as he set a new Qualifying Track Record around the 2.17 mile road course with a time unmatched for the weekend of 1 minute 15.327 seconds.
The pole position was Drewer’s first for the year and his first in the Lites 1 category, since making the setup from Lites 2. It was also Comprent Motor Sport’s first time on top of the IMSA Lites time sheets since last November when Jonathan Goring took pole at Laguna Seca and went on to claim both the 2008 IMSA Lites 1 Drivers’ and Teams’ Championships for Comprent. |

Tooele, Utah. Jonathan Gore has given Comprent Motor Sports its first podium finish in the 2009 IMSA Lites 1 Championship. Jonathan had his "best ever race weekend" with the Athens, Georgia based team to finish 3rd in Round 3 and 4th in Round 4 in his Foretravel Motor Coach sponsored car. The Round 3 result was particularly impressive as Jonathan started the race in 10th.
Australian Tom Drewer, driving the Daily Planet / Image Media machine, also recorded his best Lites 1 result for the season at the Utah event. After qualifying 8th, Tom looked like he might take Jonathan's podium spot away from him mid way through Round 3 and was at one stage lapping faster than the leaders, however he had to settle for sixth after his tires degraded over the last few laps. Drewer started Round 4 in 8th and finished 7th.
Father and Son duo Wayne and David Ducote also had a very positive weekend, with their times dropping dramatically over the course of the weekend. Wayne Ducote began Round 3 one place ahead of David in 14th and kept him at bay while moving up through the field to finish 11th. In Round 4 Wayne began 13th and finished 12th. David began Round 3 in 15th and moved to 12th. He started Round 4 in 15th also and made up one place to finish 14th.
The results left Comprent with 3 top five finishes, 4 top tens and Jonathan Gore third in the 2009 IMSA Lites 1 Drivers' Championship. |

Comprent National News - March/April 09 |
|
Wednesday, 22 April 2009 |
The last two months have seen Comprent Motor Sports annihilate lap records at two venues while competing in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) National events.
C-Sports Racer (CSR) driver Tommy Thompson (Houma, LA) set the tone at the Road Atlanta (Braselton, GA) National run in-conjunction with the TransAm Series, March 21-22.
It was Tommy’s first time driving his Crystal Head Vodka sponsored Élan DP-02 since the car had been upgraded with a Factory Élan Tunnel Floor and the increase in performance was immediately noticeable.
Throughout the weekend Tommy found more and more speed, made possible by the additional downforce of the full tunnel floor. In fact Tommy lowered his pervious personal best time by a staggering 2 seconds per lap.
In qualifying this increase in pace saw Tommy third in the CSR class and in the race he stepped up again to finish second in class and sixth overall.
However, it was Marc Walker and his Comprent prepared Fox-Lola 01C Sports 2000 (S2) that provided one of the most dominant results of the weekend. |
