TRG-AMR North America announced the addition of Derek DeBoer and Black Rider Racing Group as part of a season-long Pirelli World Challenge championship effort for 2015 and beyond.
TRG-AMR’s participation in World Challenge started less than two years ago, with a V8 Vantage GT4 making its GTS debut at the Long Beach Grand Prix in 2013. Since then, the team’s involvement and success has grown to include a season long three-car GTS effort this past season, along with two wins and multiple podiums along the way.
DeBoer, a TRG-AMR Team Driver and longtime competitor in the GRAND-AM turned IMSA paddock, raced at Sonoma last year in his first World Challenge event, as well as multiple IMSA Continental Tire Sportscar Challenge events over the past two seasons. Also a B.R.M. Chronographes Brand Ambassador, DeBoer has sponsorship directly from the famous watchmaker, as well as Pirata della Strada, a high-end Italian clothing and merchandise manufacturer.
“I couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity to be joining the best team and the best race series for a full campaign in 2015,” said DeBoer. “Thanks to TRG-Aston Martin Racing and the Black Rider Racing Group along with DriverWebsites.com, B.R.M. Chronographes, Petrol Lounge, Affinity Homes, and Pirata della Strada. I get to look forward to a full season in the amazing #09 Aston Martin with nothing to distract me, laser-focused on bringing home great results for the team and our partners. Looking forward to great things!”
