In Porsche circles, Lars Kern is something of a legend. The German is a development driver for the company, and is best known for setting many of Porsche's road-car Nürburgring lap times. He also moonlights in sports cars, and on Sunday, he won his biggest race yet, the Rolex 24 at Daytona. In a Corvette.
Since last year, Kern has raced with the Canada-based AWA Racing in its GTD #13 Corvette Z06 GT3.R. His teammates for the race include countryman Marvin Kirchhöfer, Orey Fidani, and Matthew Bell, who took the checkered.
