Continental’s tires will be getting a workout at Homestead
Miami Speedway as driver Dion von Moltke unofficially opens
the 2011 Grand-Am Rolex Series by testing the Daytona
Prototype Doran Racing Ford/Dallara and the GT class Mitchum
Motorsports Porsche.
“It will be nice to be back in Doran’s first-class team and
help him find the best setup on the new Continental tires,”
von Moltke reports.
“Mitchum Motorsports has given me great support this past
year, and I really enjoy working with the team. I’m happy
they are displaying the confidence in me and my abilities to
assist the team’s Rolex 24 efforts with their Porsche,” he
adds.
“I’m excited for the team to be moving up from the
Continental Tire Series and can’t wait to see their
continued progress,” von Moltke notes.

“Dion has a good understanding of the car, now having a full
season of DP under his belt, so we’re expecting he’ll be
able to give us the feedback we need on the new tires to be
ready for the upcoming season,” says Kevin Doran of Doran
Racing. “He’s a great communicator and I know he’ll be an
asset in getting the other guys up to pace quickly.”
Von Moltke has competed successfully in every level of
Grand-Am circuit, including last season’s three wins in the
Continental Tire Challenge Series, according to
Doran.
“We are excited to work with Dion again. The level of
professionalism and raw speed that he brings to the table is
a real asset to maximize our testing objectives,” says Chris
Mitchum of Mitchum Racing.
