Mouser-Sponsored Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing Team Turns Focus to IMSA Michelin GT Challenge at VIR

August 23, 2023 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is excited to cheer on the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team as they seek to continue their winning streak at the IMSA Michelin GT Challenge at the Virginia International Raceway (VIR), in Alton, VA, on August 27.

The Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team looks to continue their momentum, coming off several podium finishes in both classes this season. The full-time driver lineups for Vasser Sullivan Racing include Jack Hawksworth and Ben Barnicoat in the No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 in the GTD PRO class, with Aaron Telitz and Frankie Montecalvo co-driving the No. 12 Lexus entry in the GTD class.

The Vasser Sullivan team is currently in first place in the GTD PRO class standings with 2,810 points and fourth place in the GTD class standings with 2,261 points.

The VIR circuit is 3.27 mi (5.263 km) in length with 17 turns. Originally built in 1957, it was one of the longest permanent racetracks of its time and presents a considerable challenge to drivers. Hugging the contours of the land, it features two long straight high-speed sections, as well as sweeping corners over blind crests and a signature hairpin bend around a historic oak tree.

Mouser and valued manufacturer partner Molex co-sponsor the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team, seeing the opportunity as an inventive way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies.

The next race in the championship is the Battle on the Bricks at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on September 17, followed by the season finale Motul Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, on October 14 in Braselton, Georgia.
