Zak Brown to Race at Silverstone
Just Marketing International CEO to Take Driver's Seat
ZIONSVILLE, IN - (August 31, 2006) - A year after competing in the Britcar 24-hour endurance race, Just Marketing International CEO, Zak Brown, will again return to the driver's seat for the European Endurance Racing Club's 24-hour Britcar race in Silverstone, U.K. September 8-10.
Joining previous racing teammate and close friend, Richard Dean, Brown will also team with co-drivers Lawrence Tomlinson and Dave Cox. With over 80 teams entered in the race, Brown's team will compete under Moore International Motorsports (MIMS) with a highly-modified BMW M3 E46 GTR.
Brown, the founder of the thriving motorsports marketing agency, remains passionate about his pastime of full-time professional racing. While he remains exclusively devoted to JMI, Brown's temporary return to racing is a tribute to the profession that served as his entrepreneurial launch pad.
"Just Marketing International and our clients are always my first priority," said Brown. "I'm proud of JMI and the success of our clients. However, the vision for Just Marketing began when I was racing professionally, and I'm excited for this rare opportunity to revisit my passion and race with friends."
Brown has previously raced professionally in the American Le Mans Series for sports cars and the single-seat, open-wheel competition in the Indy Lights and Formula Atlantic series.
The Willie Moore Team will qualify on Friday, September 8 at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire and commence racing at 4 p.m. Saturday, September 9. Led by Willie Moore, Brown and his teammates will share two-hour driving stints.
"A 24-hour race is somewhat of a lottery," team leader Moore said, "but our full intention is to go out and win." Earlier this year, co-drivers Dean and Tomlinson won the renowned Le Mans 24 Hours in the GT2 class with British GT champion Tom Kimber-Smith.
The upcoming endurance race will be Britain's second annual hosting of the 24-hour endurance race. Spectators can view the 24-hour race via the Web at: http://www.eerc.co.uk/24hrsite/.
