NTE Sport returns to Dallas after racing in Rolex 24H at Daytona
NTE Sport, a Dallas-based professional IMSA race car team, arrived back in town on Tuesday, February 2nd after racing the № 42 Audi R8 LMS GT3 in the 59th annual ROLEX 24 Hours at Daytona International Speedway.
Recognized as the most prestigious endurance race in North America, the team is welcomed home by a strong community of passionate automotive and motorsport enthusiasts eager to see the $550,000+ car’s damage and epic aftermath.
After almost 24 hours of non-stop racing, this half a million dollar race car showcases a glimpse into what it takes to compete on a global level. And it was certainly not easy.
Paul Mata, race team owner and local Dallasite, built a team of some of the top drivers, engineers and mechanics in the world, yet was faced with what seemed to be setback after setback. Two fires, two crashes and a gearbox failure with only 2 hours left in the race, made for an exciting yet very exhausting experience for everyone involved. Combining fearless leadership with relentless passion and determination, the team left a lasting impression on the grid that should leave them all feeling very proud.
