Our friend Dion von Molke is driving for Flying Lizard Motorsports this year. The South African Audi driver is competing in the newly formed TUDOR United SportsCar Championship with an Audi R8 LMS
in the GT Daytona (GTD) class.
Yesterday Dion von Moltke answered the fans' questions on Twitter, via the official Flying Lizard Motorsports twitter account. Here is a complete round-up.
.@continentaltire 2013 Daytona 24 Hour! We used all the longevity your tires had to come home with the victory there!

— Flying Lizard (@FlyingLizard_MS) February 27, 2014.@Eric_Kanavathi @GTAcademy Very impressive! I wasn't a believer but it's hard not to believe in it now.
