Dyson re-signs driving quartet

Englishman Weaver will be in his 18th season with the Dyson team, and will co-drive with Leitzinger. The duo won at Sears Point last year.

"James is phenomenal," said team owner Rob Dyson. "He's been one of the primary factors in our success, and he shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. When he steps into the car, everyone else out there knows they're going to have a fight on their hands. James is willing to put in more hours than most drivers getting the car right, and that's what separates him from most everyone else."

Weaver said: "I think Rob must have the patience of Job. We've had a tremendous amount of fun with our racing. We are given all the tools to get the job done and the team responds. Rob is just a wonderful enthusiast who loves this sport. I looked around the other day at the Sebring test and saw how much fun everyone was having, and it's very special. I'm really excited for this season ahead."

American Leitzinger, 34, will be in his 10th season with the team.

"I think that there has never been a more exciting time at Dyson Racing," he said. "The level of development that has been put into the Lola, and the results that we are seeing from that, have made us a serious threat at every race, as well as for the championship. We have shown that we have the speed to win races, and I'm confident that we have addressed the issues that have affected our reliability. James, Andy, Chris, and I will be giving it everything that we have to reward all of the team's hard work."

Wallace, 42, from England, will partner with 25-year-old Chris Dyson in the 'sprint' races on the ALMS schedule and will drive with Weaver and Leitzinger in longer races, such as the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring that opens the season next month.

The team spent three days this week testing at Sebring in preparation for the upcoming season.
