PF RACING SET TO RETURN TO SEBRING FOR THE TRANS-AM SERIES SEASON-OPENER 

February 27, 2020

Sebring (FL), February 27, 2020 – PF Racing started its 2020 campaign on a high note with an 11th place finish during the 4-hour endurance in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge at Daytona earlier in January.

Fresh off a successful two-race event at the Thermal Club, for the last round of the SRO Winter Invitational series, PF Racing is now heading to Sebring International Raceway for the first race of the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli, which is headlining the SVRA Sebring Vintage Classic.

James Pesek will be driving the #41 Ford Mustang GT4 in the SGT class for a 70-minute race taking place on Sunday. “I’m excited to be back in the Trans Am series,” says Pesek. “It’s been a while since PF Racing has been here, and it’s good to see some old friends in the paddocks.”

“I’m also thrilled to be at Sebring; it’s a fun and technical track. Being back in Trans Am also means I’m back to my roots. Trans Am was the first professional series I participated in back in 2017.”
