MotorSports Emporium Announces Finlay Motorsports to Use GS610™ Brake Fluid in 2007 45th Running of the Rolex Daytona 24 Hour Race
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--MotorSports Emporium Inc. (OTCBB: MSEM) announces today that Finlay Motorsports has chosen to use GS610™ brake fluid in their DP (Daytona Prototype) race car during the 24 hour endurance race at Daytona International Speedway.
Scheduled for January 27-28, 2007 the 45th running of the Rolex Daytona 24 Hour race, held in Daytona Beach, FL features superstars from the worlds of sports car racing, NASCAR and open-wheel.
David Keaveney, President and CEO of MSEM comments, “The Rolex Daytona 24 Hour race is the United States premier endurance race, testing the durability of racing equipment, drivers and teamwork. Many teams and drivers use the 24 hr race as a test bed for products to be used for the up and coming racing season. In particular, braking is extreme with brake fade and failure prevalent during this race. The desire for Finlay Motorsports to use GS610™ brake fluid is a testament to the quality of our fluid.”
About Rolex Dayton 24 Hour
As in the Spa 24 Hours (introduced in 1924) and the 24 Hours Nürburgring (since 1970), the purpose of the event is to determine which team of drivers can take their sports car or Gran Turismo the farthest in a fixed time period (24 h), rather than the shortest time over a fixed distance as in conventional auto racing.
Unlike the French Le Mans event, the Daytona race is conducted entirely over a closed course within the speedway arena without the use of any public streets. Most parts of the steep banking are included, interrupted with chicanes on the back straight and some sweeps in the infield behind the pit lane.
A car must cross the finish line after 24 hours to be classified, which leads to dramatic scenes where damaged cars wait in the pits or on the edge of the track close to the finish line for hours, then restart their engines and crawl across the finish line one last time in order to finish after the 24 hours and be listed with a finishing distance, rather than dismissed with DNF (Did Not Finish).
