Petersen Motorsports � Lightning Strikes Web

LE MANS, France, June 9, 2004 � Petersen Motorsports proudly announced the redesign and launch of its new team web site, www.PetersenMotorsports.com, today at the Circuit Des 24 Heures Du Mans. The site for the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) and 24 Heures Du Mans GT class competitors will provide fresh and up-to-date news and photography from each race the Las Vegas-based operation participates in beginning at this weekend's 24 Heures Du Mans. PetersenMotorsports.com has been designed by Atlanta-based AVID Design, Inc. in cooperation with the Petersen management. The new site takes the lead as one of motorsports' most exciting and user friendly internet locations through its innovative design and layout. The design draws significantly from the instantly recognizable paint scheme of the Westward Ho Casino/ MMPIE/ PAWS/ mail2web.com/ Michelin Porsche that has been an ALMS fixture since 1999. Team owner and driver Michael Petersen, of Las Vegas, has had substantial input in the design of the new site and will have a regular question and answer forum and other features for fans in the “Petersen” section of the high-energy web site. Other sections include news and photo galleries, driver biographical information for Petersen as well as David Murry (Cumming, Ga.) and Craig Stanton (Long Beach, Calif.), team member bios, background information on team corporate partners, the team's Porsche 911 GT3 RSR and the team itself. Visitors will also be able to link to an ever-growing selection of Petersen Motorsports/ White Lightning Racing-branded merchandise available for purchase and special Petersen web exclusives. Additional features will be added regularly in the upcoming months.Mike Petersen, team owner/ driver: “I'm very excited about the launch of the new web site. It was time for something new to carry us into the next couple of years. After reviewing several different sites and figuring out what will work best for Petersen Motorsports, I feel that the collaboration of myself and AVID has created one of the top endurance racing web sites. I feel that people that view the site will be as interested as I am in following what the team does.”Petersen Motorsports/ White Lightning Racing begins practice today for the June 12-13 24 Heures Du Mans with an eye towards returning the Michael Petersen-owned Porsche to the Le Mans victory lane for the second consecutive time.For more, please visit www.petersenmotorsports.com. ###
