The American Le Mans Series was developed in North America and is a team race of varying length and type and enjoys a high standard of competition across the world. Since the series was created in 1999 an Australian motorsport team has yet to complete an entire international professional motorsport series. Rohan Skea , a business man from Western Australia, has taken up this challenge and plans on partaking in the American Le Mans Series (competitions will be in the USA, Canada, Germany, UK, France, and Belgium) with his team Skea Racing International.
Skea has two types of cars for the competitions, however in keeping with his collection they are both Porsches. The Porsche 3.6L Flat-6 will be driven by Richard Dean of the UK, and the Porsche 911 GT3-R will be driven by Johnny Mowlem, also from the UK.
Rohan Skea's team will be competing in the Race of a Thousand Years which is the final round of the American Le Mans Series season and is an endurance race (thus the name). The race will be over 1,000km long. Rohan Skea's racing team is the first Australian owned and managed motorsport team to be invited to compete at the Le Mans 24 Hour Race.
The organization behind the American Le Mans Series is Professional Sports Car Racing. As well as Porsche, brands such as Audi, Dodge, BMW, Cadillac, the will also be competing in the endurance race. The main team contenders are from the USA; however Germany has also put forth a few teams.
Fellow Aussie Des Wall, of Camden, will be taking part in the race as part of Skea's team; Des has been a regular participant in the Bathurst International Motor Festival at Mt Panorama in NSW, Australia.
Rohan Skea is a professional race car driver and the Skea Racing team has factories in Cambridge, United Kingdom and Charlotte, North Carolina, however, as with most of Rohan Skea's business dealings the headquarters is in Perth, Australia.
