Hunter-Reay, Bell join SRT
Former IndyCar champion Ryan Hunter-Reay and factory British GT ace Rob Bell will complete the SRT Viper driver line-up for the 2014 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship.
Hunter-Reay drove for the team during its debut season of the ALMS in 2012 and will now return for the 2014 TUDOR series enduros alongside Dominik Farnbacher and Marc Goossens in the No. 91 SRT Viper GTS-R.
“The SRT Motorsports program has come such a long way in a short period of time,” Hunter-Reay said.
“This is truly one of the most competitive forms of GT class racing in the world and for the Viper GTS-R team to earn three poles and a win last season is outstanding. I have a long history with the Riley Technologies family and am looking forward to working with the same group in 2014 to again represent SRT on the track.”
A McLaren GT factory driver, Bell has been racing sports cars for over eight years after working his way through the ranks of karting and single-seat race cars. During this time he has driven for Ferrari, Aston Martin and Porsche, competing in all the major sports car series including the European and American Le Mans Series and FIA GT. He has competed in the sports premier endurance races including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Rolex 24 At Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans. At Petit Le Mans last year, he drove a HPD P2 machine for Extreme Speed Motorsports.
“After seeing the steady progress the SRT Motorsports team has made, I can’t wait to get behind the wheel at Daytona and compete against some of the best GT class teams in the world,” Bell said.
“Being the new kid on the block that is joining a team as it continues to grow and get better with every race, I’m confident it won’t take long to feel right at home.”
Bell will line up alongside Jonathan Bomarito and Kuno Wittmer in the No. 93 SRT Viper GTS-R.
