Velox Motorsport has concluded a very successful 2 day test at the Mid Ohio sports car course in   beautiful Lexington Ohio. Principal driver Jerry Vento spent most of Monday afternoon familiarizing himself with the course. Driver coach and co-driver Shane Lewis was present for both days as the team prepares for their first ALMS endurance event.

Tuesday was shortened by heavy rain in the morning. The sun finally came out and the surface dried shortly before lunch. Vento and Lewis were eager to push the #88 Porsche to its limits. After a quick shakedown on track conditions by Lewis, Vento was ready to take the wheel. The team had decided on running a simulation run where Vento was placed in the car with a full fuel load and cold tires. The Velox pilot was quick to reach solid times in changing conditions. As the 40 minute simulation continued Vento was able to bring his lap times down drastically and run a consistent pace. Upon conclusion of Vento's run, Lewis then jumped in on worn tires and a full fuel load to check on the overall balance under these circumstances.

When we asked co-driver Shane Lewis about the test he replied " We came here with the goal of getting Jerry ready for his first full ALMS event, to learn the track and get comfortable with what to expect from the race weekend. We accomplished that goal and more. I am so proud of his performance as well as the effort put forth by the team. “

As the checkered fell on the Tuesday test day, Lewis and Vento were both pleased with the overall package and are both looking forward to official practice on Thursday.
