DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (January 24, 2019) – Sporting a revolutionary mix of colors as well as matte and metallic finishes, Black Swan Racing and the No. 540 Porsche 911 GT3 R have arrived for this weekend’s Rolex 24 at Daytona ready for action with yet another revolutionary livery. Campaigning throughout this year’s Michelin Endurance Cup, the lineup of Tim Pappas, Dirk Werner, Marco Seefried and Matteo Cairoli will take to take victory at this weekend’s twice-around-the-clock classic.

Looking to improve on their runner-up finish in 2016, in the previous generation Porsche 911 GT3 R, 2019 is one with high hopes for the team. Pappas now enters the race with two runner-up finishes, Dirk Werner arrives with multiple former Rolex Sports Car Series Championships, and Marco Seefried will take the wheel as a class winner in 2016.

“With the new car we wanted to create a new look for our team, and we’re very happy with the results,” stated Pappas. “The reaction from fans and crew has been exceptional so far, and we’re looking forward to finally getting on the track today. This year features an ultra-competitive field so we’re aware of the challenge ahead, but our crew and driver lineup is arriving with a lot of experience as well as results, and we’re focused on top results.”

Practice begins today, January 23, with the 24 hour event beginning on Saturday. Live coverage will begin at 2PM ET on NBCSN, with 24-hour coverage jumping between NBCSN and the NBC Sports app throughout the entire run of the race.
