APR takes on the rest of the field at this weekend's Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge with some added firepower to the arsenal. Their latest and greatest ST class car, the Mk6 GTI, has been completed and will see APR owner / Team Principle Stephen Hooks take a seat in this weekend's race. This brings the total number of APR-supported cars to four, which is quite an undertaking.
Both ST class Mk5 GTIs remain, with the Mk6 being piloted by Hooks and Australian racing star Tom Drewer. It will be interesting to see what sort of performance advantages the TSI motor may afford (or not) the Mk6, as compared to the FSI motors which have been pretty thoroughly developed within the limits of the rules.
The GS class S4 should hopefully fulfill its destiny as a race winner, as it has previously shown the speed, but not the problem-free race required to win in the competitive CTSCC series. George Achorn from Fourtitude.com is down in Alabama to provide a first hand account and a little moral support to the four-ringed sedan.
APR is the defending ST class race winner at Barber (their 'home' track), and there will no doubt be extra pressure to perform a clean sweep of both CTSCC classes in front of friends and family in attendance.
