Drivers Elias Sabo and Andy Lee are set to compete in the #28 Aston Martin Vantage GTD entrant at the street circuit sprint race, which will have two categories for the multi-class event. Sponsored by 5.11 Tactical, the No. 28 Aston Martin will sport an orange and black livery similar to their SRO Fanatec GT World Challenge America entries. The race, taking place at Sabo’s home track in Long Beach, will see a grid of ten GTPs and 18 GTD cars vying for top honors in the third round of 2024, which is a 1-hour and 40-minute event. Sabo expressed his excitement about racing in front of friends and family at the Grand Prix, as he and Lee missed out on the opportunity in 2020 due to Covid. The team, originally starting out in the American Le Mans Series with Porsche GT machinery, transitioned to Audi R8 LMS equipment and has been part of the SRO America series since 2015. Lee echoed the sentiment, stating that competing in Long Beach has always been a significant goal for him and Sabo, especially given its proximity to Sabo’s base and family.
