“Long Beach is one of our most uniquely challenging races of the year. There’s limited track time and because of the street course nature, the track is always evolving. It’s important to trust your instinct from years past to get ahead of the changing conditions. It’s also our only 100-minute race of the year which makes time in pit lane critical. I always look forward to this one and hopefully we can build on our successful P2 run from last year.”
-Robby Foley, driver of the No. 96 BMW M4 GT3 EVO
“Long Beach is unique because it’s our only street course, it’s our shortest race, and pre-race track time is scarce. You need to arrive prepared and make no mistakes to be successful.”
-Will Turner, Team Owner
