Team PDG Success Continues with GTM

We were fortunate to have a visit from Team PDG owners Richard and Yvonne Migliori here at Factory Five a few weeks ago.  Richard and Yvonne gave us pictures of their VERY successful GTM race car signed by team members and drivers.  Team PDG is again in the hunt for a podium finish at this year’s 25 Hours of Thunderhill road race.
