interested parties to finalize the complete lineup.
After having successfully run Corvettes and Camaros over
the last 25 years, including stints in ALMS and GRAND-AM
competition, the longtime GM team moves to Aston Martins,
a package which Gigliotti feels will work to their advantage.
“We normally build our own
cars from scratch,” he said. “By getting Aston Martins that are already
built and pretty well sorted… all
we have to do is tidy up all the fine
points and loose edges and make
it a little bit faster from our experiences, we should have really good
cars.”
The team last competed in
World Challenge in 2013 with a
Camaro, also in GTS, with Gigliotti
scoring a pair of top-seven finishes
at Circuit of The Americas that year,
which marked their final event of
the season.
With LG now back in the newlook GTS class, which will feature
standalone races in 2015, Gigliotti
is looking forward to the battles
ahead.
“It’s getting bigger and bigger,”
he said. “The fact that you’re getting GAINSCO in that series in the
GTS class is awesome. It adds creditability to the series. If a guy goes
out and does consistently well with
top-5, considering the people that
are running there, that’s a feather in
your cap.”
Gigliotti expects to take delivery
of all three Aston Martins by the
end of January, with testing set to
occur at MSR Houston in February
prior to the season-opening round
at COTA on March 6-8.
