RS  Motorwerks is proud to co sponsor Car #251, one of two american entrants in the Historic A category of the 2011 La Carrera Panamericana. The 1965 Volvo Amazon will be driven by Roger Sullivan (Piloto) with John Herzler Sr. as navigator (co-piloto). La Carrera Panamericana, The Mexican Road Race (1950-1954), was one of the most famous events in auto racing history.  Many of the most famous drivers in the world tested their skills driving 2000 miles across Mexico at full speed.  The event was revived as a stage rally in1988 and for twenty-four years has offered both experienced racers and novices an opportunity to experience the thrills and challenges of the original Pan Am.  Today it is unique in the world—racing against the clock at full speed on public highways for a week. This year one hundred cars will line up in southern Mexico to race 1600 miles north to the beautiful city of Zacatecas. The event passes though the heart of the country, a string of impressive mountains and colorful colonial cities. The Mexican Highway Patrol, whose top officers travel with the race, clears the highways for the timed speed runs. Along the way, two million spectators will cheer the competitors along. Each night the race rests in a different city. This year the Pan Am will start in the Pacific resort of Huatulco and stop for the night in Oaxaca, Puebla, Querétaro, Morelia, Guanajuato, Aguascalientes, and Zacatecas. Herzler and Sullivan will depart Atlanta for Huatulco on October 10th joining the other US competitors in Nuevo Laredo. Once across the US border, the participants will form up as the Coyote Caravan for the one week trip to Huatulco and the start of the race on October 21.
