WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- The Rolex Sports Car Series saw its fourth team and car drive into Victory Lane in as many races at the Six Hours of The Glen last weekend. The Doran Lista Racing Judd-powered Ferrari, driven by Didier Theys (Phoenix, Ariz.), Mauro Baldi (Monaco) and Freddy Lienhard (Switzerland), captured its first win of the season at The Glen. No teams, drivers or chassis manufacturers have been able to garner more than one overall victory thus far this season, proving the series' high level of competition.

The GT class has also seen four different teams take home class wins in the first four races of the season. G&W Motorsports continued the streak of unique victors when it took its first win at The Glen over the weekend. The SportsRacing Prototype II class has also had four different sets of drivers in Victory Lane, with Team Spencer's Mazda Kudzu adding to the list over the weekend.

The Rolex Sports Car Series will compete in the Lime Rock Grand Prix this weekend, May 25-29, in Lime Rock, Conn.
