Daytona Beach, Florida – VISIT FLORIDA Racing took delivery of its new Gibson-powered Riley Technologies Mk. 30 on Saturday as the team put the brand new LMP2 machine through its paces at Carolina Motorsports Park.

Both Marc Goossens and Renger van der Zande, who were recently announced as VISIT FLORIDA Racing’s full-time drivers for the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship campaign, were on hand to take their first laps in the car.

IMSA has established all-new regulations for the top Prototype class in IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship competition, which will officially launch with the Rolex 24 At Daytona on January 28-29.

Saturday’s test served as an initial shakedown for the Daytona Beach-based team prior to the first official IMSA outing next week at Daytona International Speedway.

VISIT FLORIDA Racing will take part in an IMSA open test on December 13 and 14 in preparation for the 2017 season. The new season officially kicks off with the annual Roar Before the 24 at Daytona International Speedway January 6-8.
