  • BimmerWorld's Clay and Thomas Unite to Drive GS-Class BMW M3 V8
    Created: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 Author: Jeff
    The names James Clay and Seth Thomas have been synonymous with BimmerWorld's multi-car assault in touring car competition and, starting in 2010, the GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Street Tuner (ST) championship. Despite their long association, the two veterans have never shared a car in a professional racing series. All of that will change starting next January when Clay and Thomas partner to drive the No. 79 BimmerWorld BMW M3 V8 in the Grand Sport (GS) class as the season kicks off at Daytona International Speedway. Clay, who owns and runs BimmerWorld's successful BMW performance shop and the four-car BimmerWorld Racing team, says the opportunity to partner with Thomas behind the wheel of their new BMW E92 chassis has come at the perfect time. "The 'driver/team owner' label that I am often given is actually more 'team owner/driver,' honestly.

While Heumann co-drove with Seth Thomas in 2010, and White shared a car with BimmerWorld owner/driver James Clay, the sophomore ST drivers will come together in 2011 to create one of the most formidable entries in the class. Heumann and White will be joined by Greg Liefooghe and John Capestro-Dubets in the sister No. 81 BimmerWorld E90.
