Deerfield Beach (Florida, United States), January 17, 2024 - Performance Tech Motorsports is pleased to announce their plans for the 2024 season, kicking off the year with a dual effort in the first round of the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge at Daytona International Raceway. Alex Kirby will be returning with the team in the #7 Ligier JSP320s for the full season, and will be accompanied by Scott Locke in the #38 Ligier JSP320s in the opening round as he makes his debut in the series.
