After winning his first race in 2006, Dino Loles, son of Farnbacher Loles Racing cofounder Greg Loles decided to put the spotlight of success toward a good cause. A proven winner, Farnbacher Loles will give us the chance not just to compete – but also to win. Farnbacher Loles has competed in the Rolex 24 Hours At Daytona since 2005 where they took home a dramatic victory in their first North American race. In 2006, they grabbed another podium finish with third. In 2007, the team won the Grand-Am Rolex GT Series Championship with a remarkable 12 podiums. As partners in the Racing4Research team, Farnbacher Loles will race to help us win the fight against NF.
For 2008, Farnbacher Loles Racing continues in championship form by fielding a triple team of seven Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars for the Rolex 24 At Daytona. The team’s impressive driver line-up included Porsche factory drivers Sascha Maassen, Timo Bernhard, and Jörg Bergmeister; 2007 Rolex GT Series Champion Dirk Werner; and past Rolex 24 class winners Wolf Henzler, Dominik Farnbacher, Dave Lacey, and Pierre Ehret.
