With two new Porsche RS Spyders, the US privateer team CET/Solaroli Motorsports enters the American Le Mans Series this season. The two sports prototypes, built at Porsche's Motorsport Centre in Weissach will soon be delivered to Al Solaroli and his Jacksonville-based team. The first race is scheduled for the middle of the season.

Besides Dyson Racing, which fields two new RS Spyders for the first time at the 12 hours of Sebring/Florida on Saturday, CET/Solaroli Motorsports is the second privately-run US team to contest the series with the further-developed winning car of last year's American Le Mans Series. As winner of all LM P2 championship titles in the 2006 American Le Mans Series, Penske Motorsports runs two RS Spyders with factory support from Porsche.

“We think that CET/Solaroli Motorsports will be successful in putting together a professional team with top drivers and will be competitive at the highest level right from the get-go,“ said Porsche's head of motorsport Hartmut Kristen. “To already have six RS Spyders competing in the American Le Mans Series this year exceeds all our expectations.“

Team-owner Al Solaroli himself raced with Porsche in the past in Canada and the USA. Today he runs a successful technology enterprise.
