PODIUMS AT ROLEX 24 AT DAYTONA;
PORSCHE 911 SCORES 32ND CLASS WIN

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - February 1 - Adding to its legacy as the most
successful manufacturer in the 42-year history of the Rolex 24 at Daytona,
Porsche teams earned victories in both the GT and SGS classes at this year's
endurance classic. The two victories give Porsche 57 class wins and the
Porsche 911 32 class wins in the Rolex 24.

In the GT class, the #44 Orbit Porsche 911 GT3 RS, with Johnny Mowlem/Mike
Fitzgerald/Robin Liddell/Joe Policastro/Jay Policastro sharing the driving duties,
ran a flawless race, not only scoring a class win, but finishing second overall.
Car owners Joe and Jay Policastro sacrificed their Rolex Grand-Am points and
seat time by letting the faster drivers take the car to victory.

"To win the GT class against the quality of competition at this race, and to
finish on the podium overall is something we have been striving for ever
since we've been coming to this track. " said Orbit team manager Roger Hawley.

"Joe and Jay Policastro are the perfect car owners to bring together the team
needed to win this difficult event - they played to our strength to ensure this
win," said Hawley.

The #74 Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche GT3 Cup racer of Johannes van
Overbeek/Seth Neiman/Lonnie Pechnik/Peter Cunningham/Mike Rockenfeller,
which started on the pole, had radiator problems early in the event, but
came back strong to challenge the Orbit car, finishing second in class, third
overall, and only 6.9 seconds behind the leaders.

The #66 The Racer's Group Porsche GT3 RS of Kevin Buckler/Patrick Long/Timo
Bernhard/Jorg Bergmeister overcame two flat tires and an accident to run on
the same lap as the #73 Ferrari, just missing out on third in class in class. The
car ran as high as third in class before slipping to fifth at the checkered flag due
to gearbox troubles.

In the SGS class, the #91 Toronto-based Doncaster Racing Porsche 911 GT3
Cup car of Jean-Francois Dumoulin/Robert Julien/Greg Pootmans/Marc Lieb won
the event-long battle over the pole-sitting #38 TPC Racing Porsche GT3 Cup
race of Randy Pobst/ Marc Bunting/Andy Lally/John Littlechild/Michael Levitas.
Third was the other Doncaster racer, the #71 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car of Dave
Lacey/Greg Wilkins/Mark Wilkins/Tom Nastasi/Kenny Wilden.

"We have won the Grand-Am Cup championship two years in a row, but this is
something special. Not only does it show the world what a great team John
Lacey has put together, but it showcases the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup as a true
endurance racer," said Robert Julien, who co-drove the last two years in
Grand-Am Cup with Jean-Francois Dumoulin.

In all, Porsche 911s finished in eight of the top overall 15 positions.

In the Daytona Prototype class, #59 Brumos Racing Porsche Fabcar entry
driven by Hurley Haywood/J.C. France/Tommy Riggins/Scott Sharp ran in the
top ten for much of the night before a broke suspension brought the effort
to a halt with Sharp at the wheel. The #58 Brumos Racing Porsche Fabcar of
David Donohue/Lucas Luhr/Sascha Maassen/Darren Law suffered electrical
problems in hour six and did not finish.
