September 2nd, 2019

August 29th – September 2nd 2019 ; The Historic Festival 37 Labor Day Weekend at Lime Rock Park (Lakeville, CT) with the Donovan Motorsports Jaguars.

Art finished third in Saturday’s race, behind Jack in the #61 E type and a 1964 Corvette. However, we got under one minute lap times, for the first time ever in Jaguar E-type #63!

In the second race we got beat by the 1964 Corvette and the 1973 Camaro. We had a great start, but the Camaro, gridded behind, reeled and passed long before we got to turn one. After that Art could catch the Camaro and the Corvette, but didn’t have the power to stay with them on the straightaways. A great race, nonetheless. Jack did an excellent job, bringing the #61 jaguar home first!

June 23rd, 2019

Representing Motorsports Market, Art attended the 2019 Sonoma Speed Festival this June, sharing a 1999 Martini Picchio SR2 with fellow driver Andrew Wait. A 3.0 liter sports racer, the Picchio previously raced in the FIA sanctioned Sports Racing World Cup Championship in Europe in 1999 and 2000 at tracks such as Spa, The Nurburgring, Monza, Imola, and Donnington. Supported by Competition Touring Cars (“CTC”) out of Sonoma – headed by Brian Garzelli and with help from Ron, Taylor, and Andrew – the team qualified in 3rd, an impressive spot behind and ahead of much more powerful cars. However, in an unfortunate turn of events the left front axle broke at the end of qualifying, and they were not able to compete.
