Team ATL Automotive Racing with star driver Doug “Hollywood” Gore unveiled their ATL Automotive Racing/Boom/Wata/Petcom/Pace Lubricants/Sherwin Williams Paints Audi TT race car at a glitzy function at the new ATL Autohaus facilities at Bogue City Centre in Montego Bay on Saturday, April 9. The crowd that turned out to see the much anticipated German designed and manufactured , pure bred racing machine were not disappointed, as Wisynco and Petcom along with the Sandals Resorts International group ensured a fine array of wines, food and beverages to satisfy all.


The car was taken to Dover raceway on Sunday morning for familiarization and shakedown. About 15 laps were completed as the car was run in safe mode. The engineers from the car builders ABT will arrive in the island before raceday to properly dial in the car to our local conditions.
