BUTTONWILLOW, CA
Matt completed a successful first test with the West Coast based endurance racing team Technik Competition on Friday, June 7th. The team competes regularly in NASA’s Western Endurance Racing Championship, so far capturing 3 in-class podium finishes out of 3 races in 2019. Technik Competition’s primary focus is the annual NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill in December. In 2018, the team finished 3rd in class with their BMW 330 CL.
Matt joins Technik Competition in June 2019 after a successful driver evaluation and development day in Buttonwillow Raceway. Matt was able to demonstrate clean consistency and pace on track while also beginning to understand Technik’s expectations of endurance fuel and tire management. Matt also got his first taste of the team’s off track expectations such as feedback and data knowledge, understanding the roles within the team, and an introduction to how Matt can positively contribute to Technik Competition outside of race weekends.
Technik Competition and Matt are next on track for an extended test at Thunderhill Raceway from June 19-20th.
