Flying Lizards aim for points lead at CT Motorsports Park in Canada

July 18, 2013 – Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada – Flying Lizard's No 44 and No 45 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars will return to the racetrack this weekend for the Mobil 1 Sportscar Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. Seth Neiman (USA) and Dion von Moltke (South Africa) will again pilot the No 44 PR Newswire / eSilicon car with Nelson Canache Jr. (Venezuela) and Spencer Pumpelly (USA) sharing the No 45 Venezuela / eSilicon car. Nelson and Spencer are coming off of a two-lap win at Lime Rock Park and currently sit in 2nd place in the drivers' championship, just one point behind Henrique Cisneros. They are currently four points ahead of the tandem of Cooper MacNeil and Jeroen Bleekemolen in the championship. In addition, Spencer has won the last two GTC races at Mosport starting in 2011 and will be looking to continue his streak.

Seth enjoyed just his second race back in the car at Lime Rock following offseason shoulder surgery, and spoke about the upcoming race, saying "I am really looking forward to Mosport. It is great to be back in the car. I love that track, and I am starting to come to grips with this car and class. More to learn, but should be fun!"

The weekend will feature a bit more track time than was available at Lime Rock, with a 1.5 hour promoter test day on Friday followed by two 1-hour practices on Saturday along with qualifying. Race day schedule will include a 25-minute morning warmup prior to the 2 hour and 45 minute race itself.
