The COBB Tuning Motorsports Team is once again proving their “metal,” this time at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois. The COBB Tuning Motorsports GT-R and STI driven by Brian Lock and Cameron Benner, respectively, are both leading the field at the end of testing on Saturday. The GT-R posted a 1:29 in the Modified AWD class and the STI is sitting in first in the AWD Street Tire class with a 1:37.

After his win at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Cameron is looking a repeat here at Autobahn. “The car feels great,” said Cameron Benner, driver of the COBB Tuning Motorsports STI. “We made a few minimal bound and rebound settings to minimize oscillation, to keep the car settled mid-corner and at the exits and also to take advantage of the new OS Giken rear diff. The track is fun, it reminds me of Portland International Raceway, my ‘Alma Mater’. The track itself is rather slick as the track surface is very green, but once you get the hang of it, it’s really fun. It is deceivingly difficult to drive.”

Brian Lock, driver of the COBB Tuning Motorsports GT-R, who won overall at Auto Club Speedway, noted that there were a few issues to deal with in practice. “The car came out of the trailer with some alignment issues and we had to sort out our new wing,” said Brian. “As the day went on, we got our alignment sorted and our downforce and aero balanced and we made steady improvements all day. The car is very fast and ready for competition.”

Weather will play a big role in the weekend as two out of three advanced sessions were black flagged due to sever rain and thunderstorms. Both cars are running flawlessly and continue to set the standard for race preparation. The COBB Tuning Motorsports Team is ready to take on the competition on Sunday!
