PrivacyStar, maker of the smartphone application that enables users to take control of their mobile phone, sponsored the #45 PrivacyStar car this year in the Pirelli World Challenge and Patrick Long, the driver of the Porsche 911 GT3, sealed the 2011 GT Driver’s Championship in the Pirelli World Challenge at Laguna Seca on Sunday, September 18th claiming the title in his first full season in the Series and delivering TruSpeed Motorsports its first championship. FortyThree's own, Katie Camacho, was in attedence at this event and was able to witness a client victory in the fast lane. Despite missing the round at Miller Motorsports Park earlier in the year due to a schedule conflict, Long wrapped up his title at the penultimate round of the season at a track which he’s mastered over the years. Long, who was forced to carry an extra 200lbs. of “success” ballast stemming from his four prior wins and consistent top-five results, qualified 6th on Saturday and drove a consistent and conservative race to finished 5th on Sunday. Long’s closest competitor in the championship, James Sofronas, spun out with only two minutes left in the race, leaving Patrick a clear path to the title on the last lap.
