-Neuburg, Germany
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RACETV: We are here with the driver of the #15 Under Armour Audi, Jacob P. Jacob, you ran the Daytona test in the Dodge Dart but you running this season in the Audi, why did you hop into the Dart?
JP: I was at Daytona as the guys at Audi Sport said they should have a car ready for that test but we had a small issue with the motor and the car did not leave Germany, so the guys over at Dodge-SRT asked me if I wanted to log some laps in the Dart and since I was there I was not going to pass up the opportunity.
RTV: Tell us what made you jump over to GTPFS?
JP: Well, Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich came to me and told me about Audi's plans to race in GTPFS after the DTM season was over and said that he wanted an American driver to lead the program and having worked for Audi in DTM and multiple GT3 races worldwide, I was honored and could not say no.
RTV: New Driver, New Manufacturer, New Team; What are your expectations?
JP: To say my goal is to win a championship in my first year would be a lie as of right now we are a part time team but we are the first alternate for a full time ride, so our goal is to get a few top-10's maybe a few top-5's and possibly a win, if we are lucky. We are just going to log as many laps as possible and learn as much as possible for an all out assault in 2016
RTV: Thank you for your time and best of luck this year
JP: Thank you and I just want to thank all of the guys at Audi for giving me this wonderful opportunity and Under Armour for coming on board as my sponsor
