Today saw a fair performance from APR in today's Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Homestead 200. After putting the supercharged direct-injected S4 into the third spot, a ride height infraction saw the car moved to the back of the pack and it did not start when the green flag dropped at 1pm. Whether or not APR chose not to start in protest, had problems, or were completely disqualified remains to be seen. The pole-winning #20 Roush Performance Ford Mustang GT was also penalized for an illegal part, but ended up going on to win today's event.
In ST the two APR Mk5 GTIs started towards the back of the field, and slowly but surely moved up. The#181 Stadtlander/ Hurley car managed a solid 5th place as the checkered flag waved, with the #171 in 18th position.
I'll try and find out more info this week, but so far 2010 continues to be a tough year for APR's efforts in Grand Am.
