LIQUI MOLY Porsche Returns to Daytona 24-Hour Race
After a long intermission, the German motor oil and additive maker LIQUI MOLY returns to the Daytona race track.
A LIQUI MOLY Porsche will once again start in the legendary Rolex 24-hour race in Daytona later this month. "It's about time," says Peter Baumann, head of marketing at LIQUI MOLY. "It's been a long time since we've taken part in races here in the USA, and we want to show our stuff."
A LIQUI MOLY Porsche already started in
Daytona in 1980 in a Porsche 935 and won. The overall victory was as result of a lot of hard work. The LIQUI MOLY Porsche may
have lead over longer periods, but the pursuers were close on its heels.
Only shortly before the finish line did driving errors and technical
problems force the toughest competitors from the race.
"It would
be a wonderful thing to repeat the victory of 1980," says Peter
Baumann. "We really want to show our true colors in the USA." LIQUI MOLY
has specialized here in the market for German import vehicles requiring
high performance oils with the appropriate manufacturer clearances.
The
company produces its products exclusively in Germany in order to satisfy the high
quality standards of the manufacturers. "Regardless of the result, such extreme races are
always a good test for our products", Baumann explains. "And
drivers on the road profit from these experiences on the race track."
