Potentia Takes a Victory Lap After Lionspeed GP's Historic Win at the 24 Hours of Spa
The pit lane-to-victory win at the world's most prestigious GT3 race followed the start of construction at Heartland Industrial Park in Indiana
Potentia Inc. is celebrating a remarkable two month run for the company after its sole-sponsored racing entry, the No. 80 Lionspeed GP Porsche 911 GT3 R driven by Thomas Preining, Ricardo Feller, and Bastian Buus, made history by winning the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa at Belgium's iconic Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.
The 24 Hours of Spa, the world's largest and most prestigious GT3 endurance race, requires teams of three drivers to rotate through a single car for a full 24-hour cycle against entries from nearly every major automotive manufacturer. The No. 80 car experienced an engine failure before the race and was forced to start from the pit lane in a field of 69 entries, but the team managed extreme heat, nighttime conditions, and mechanical degradation to finish 12.288 seconds ahead and become the first to win from pit lane in the event's 102-year history.
The victory came 66 days after Potentia began construction at Heartland Industrial Park, a large-scale development in Sullivan County, Indiana, that ranks among the largest private infrastructure projects ever undertaken in the state. The two achievements share an operating identity Potentia has built since its founding — outcomes produced by considerable preparation, resource planning, and disciplined execution under conditions that punish shortcuts.
