Who is Patrick Long?

Patrick Long is a professional race car driver, one of 10 Porsche factory racing drivers, and the only American to hold that distinction. Following a successful career in karts and the open wheel ladder system, he caught the eye of Red Bull, and was included in the inaugural Red Bull Formula 1 Driver Search. During that test, he came to the attention of Porsche, for whom he has driven - first as a Junior driver, then as a Factory driver, since 2003. Patrick has had notable success racing for Porsche, including class wins at all four sportscar "classics" - the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Petit Le Mans and the Mobil One 12 Hours of Sebring. Patrick is a three-time American Le Mans Series driver's champion, winning the GT2/GT class in 2005, 2009 and 2010, and won the Pirelli World Challenge Driver's Championship in 2011. Additionally, he was part of the driving trio that claimed the first international competition victory for the innovative Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid, in the 2010 1000 km of Zhuhai, China.
