“Michelin was a great part of our win today, just as they have been part of every win,” said co-driver Jaime Melo. “The Michelin tires were just so consistent and our car was so well balanced that we were able to maintain good grip and good lap times throughout our runs.”

Melo and the Houston based Risi Competizione Ferrari team have won the GT2 class at the 2008 and 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans,  the 2008 and 2009 Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta and the 2009 and 2010 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
