ANSA Motorsports to Compete in the Pirelli World Challenge GT-Cup Class in 2015
ANSA Motorsports, the 2012 and 2014 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA Gold Cup Team Champion, based in Miami, Florida, will participate in the 2015 Pirelli World Challenge, entering the No. 13 Porsche in the new GT-Cup class.
Created in 2005 by former race car driver and savvy businessman, Alain Nadal, ANSA Motorsports will make its debut in the Pirelli World Challenge at the season opener on March 6-8 at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas.
Drivers for the first races (Austin, St Petersburg and Long Beach) will be announced at a later time.
“I am thrilled to have an opportunity to compete in the 2015 Pirelli World Challenge,” said Alain Nadal, ANSA Motorsports team owner. “We have been racing Porsche cars since 2011, and we are pleased to remain a faithful customer of Porsche Motorsport North America. The announcement of the new GT-Cup class allowing us to race within the GT class, is a tremendous opportunity for our team. The Pirelli World Challenge offers an outstanding schedule, with races in most national, top media markets, which should allow our team to secure new corporate sponsorships in the future. We look forward to competing with the best GT-Cup class teams and to discover all the benefits that the Pirelli World Challenge series has to offer.”
Nadal knows how to surround himself with the best managers and technicians in the racing industry. He recently hired a general manager with 30 years of experience, Emmanuel Lupe, to manage, market and help him take ANSA Motorsports to the next level.
