Chicago, Illinois - The intensive program of three American Le Mans Series (ALMS) races taking place this month far north of VICI Racing’s, Miami, Florida HQ has seen team partner LuxuryMotors.com playing an important role in the major logistical challenge being faced.

Luxurymotors.com, the worlds largest online retailer of high performance and luxury cars, joined the team as a strategic partner in May, and its name has graced the #18 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, alongside Hughes Telematics, Hughes Network Systems and Wempe at the Utah Grand Prix, as well as the Acura Sports Car Challenge of Mid-Ohio in July and the most recent ALMS round, the Generac 500 at Road America, last weekend.

Now LuxuryMotors.com has stepped up the partnership with VICI Racing in a strategic area by providing invaluable logistical support for the intensive August race program. This summer schedule kicked off at Road America last weekend (7-9 August) and now moves on to Mosport in Canada (22-24 August) before finally a week later to Detroit (29-30 Aug) is the venue.

In the days prior to the race at Road America the team shipped its trucks, equipment and key components of the workshop infrastructure northwards to LuxuryMotors.com's headquarters in Chicago. Using the firm's one-of-a kind indoor Distribution Facility is proving invaluable as the team is now preparing for the trek even further north to the Mosport track near Toronto in Canada next week.  LuxuryMotors.com houses nearly 400 of their high-end vehicles indoors at this unique warehouse facility but has made some working space available for the VICI Racing crew to use.

Mike Sellen, Director of Marketing for LuxuryMotors.com says: “It's been great having the guys from VICI Racing here in Chicago. We were excited about the opportunity for them to use our warehouse as a temporary base of operations as the season has brought them up north. It’s been very exciting for our staff to watch them work and we’re looking forward to more great racing as the season continues.”
 


Ron Meixner, Team President VICI Racing says: "Luxurymotors.com is a perfect partner to the team; it’s a world class operation which I believe perfectly harmonises with our team's philosophy. Both companies are ambitious, uncompromising and strive for exacting high standards. Its facilities in Chicago are proving an ideal base for the race program this month. As the focus of VICI Racing is technological development it is invaluable that we have partners such as LuxuryMotors.com, Hughes Telematics and Hughes Network Solutions bringing real synergies to the ALMS program by leveraging their areas of expertise as we move forward."

Tim Bumps, Team Manager VICI Racing: "I've been delighted by the efficient, practical support that LuxuryMotors.com has offered us. After Road America we have had a lot of work to undertake in order to prepare efficiently for Mosport next week. LuxuryMotors.com has seamlessly integrated our demands and requirements, helping us set up a temporary workshop and operating base within their workshops, meaning that we will be fully prepared for the start of the race next week. Their superb facilities have allowed us to bring and seamlessly integrate infrastructure components from our Florida base. We look forward to using the facilities again to prepare during the brief gap between Mosport and Detroit."
