NTE SPORT LAMBORGHINI READY TO TAKE ON THE SAHLEN'S SIX HOURS OF THE GLEN
WATKINS GLEN, NY, June 21, 2023 — Like a thunderbolt wrapped in Italian finery, NTE Sport is back on the tarmac at the 2023 Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen. Fielding a formidable fleet of five Lamborghini Super Trofeo cars as well as their Lamborghini Huracan EVO 2 GT3 Car, the team is all set to take on the challenging Watkins Glen International Raceway.
Strapped into the cockpit of the vibrant purple #42 Super Trofeo Pro-AM car are drivers Luke Berkeley and Keawn Tandon. Berkeley, the 2021 Super Trofeo AM champion now turned Pro, is laser-focused on the championship with Tandon, the rookie sensation who catapulted straight from karting to Trofeo. Expect this dynamic duo to hurt some feelings.
Keeping the heat turned up in the Pro-AM category are speedsters Shehan Chandrasoma and Nikko Reger in the #20 car.
Running the LB Cup class gauntlet in their #89 and #17 cars are Fred Roberts and Tiger Tari. Roberts and Tari, both with a fondness for the thrill of Watkins Glen, are ready to roll against a fierce field.
Jeff Courtney will be holding down the fort in the AM class, piloting the white and orange #99 Super Trofeo.
But the big ticket item this weekend? The comeback kid, the #42 Lamborghini Huracan EVO2. Off the grid since a challenging Daytona 24, the team has been working relentlessly to return the GT3 car to its prime. Ready to pilot the GT3 around the circuit are Jaden Conwright, Luke Berkeley, and Rob Ferriol.
Conwright, sidelined since Daytona, is itching to get back into action.
Berkeley shared, “It has been my dream since a kid watching the Daytona 24, to be apart of the IMSA weathertech paddock in a GTD car. To now be participating in the Sahlen's 6 Hour is surreal. A huge thank you to Paul and the whole NTE team for making this dream possible and giving me a home for 2023."
New to the team, Rob Ferriol will be getting behind the wheel of a Lamborghini GT3 for the first time. Many will know Rob as the team owner at Hardpoint. While their own Trofeo program is also in full swing this weekend, Rob is happy to take the opportunity to get back into the GT3 platform and compete in the Six Hour.
After a nail-bitingly close call last season where a podium finish was snatched away by late-race yellow flags, the NTE squad has revenge on their minds and they're ready for a little redemption. It's game on!
