LEXINGTON, Ohio — Australian native James Davison continued his excellent body of work in the #33 Always Evolving/RePlay XD Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 at Mid-Ohio. Davison earned two second place finishes at Mid-Ohio behind Scotland’s Ryan Dalziel in the Effort Racing GT3 Porsche in both rounds. Teammate Bryan Heitkotter finished 3rd overall behind Davison to record his career best finish.
"It was another strong weekend for us as a team." Davison said. "We really dug deep, executed well and achieved maximum results. The Ryan Dalziel EFFORT Racing Porsche was just too strong this weekend to take the win off of. We got close though! In the past 5 races we've finished no worse than 2nd so we've moved up nicely in the Championship. Race 2 was a breakthrough race for Bryan which I was happy to see. We now look forward to the next event at Salt Lake City."
The Always Evolving team’s 2015 season has indeed exceeded all expectations taking 14 podiums in the season’s 15 rounds to date. Davison and Heitkotter have delivered seven class wins including two overall victories, six runner-up finishes and one third place.
"We had another outstanding weekend as a team and have a lot to be proud of," said AE team owner Erik Davis. "For a first year effort, coming off nine podiums in the last five races says a lot about this team, our drivers and the Nissan/NISMO GT3 GTR. While there is a lot to celebrate, we still have work to do. We will continue to develop the program and are already making plans to expand in 2016 – more on that later. A heartfelt congratulations to JD and Bryan for tremendous drives at Mid-Ohio this weekend."
