STUART, Fla. – Oct. 10, 2013 – Extreme Speed Motorsports (ESM) enlists two additional world-class championship drivers for 16th Annual Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda – the season and series finale of the American Le Mans Series presented Tequila Patrón (ALMS) at Road Atlanta on Oct. 19.

David Brabham returns to co-drive the No. 01 Tequila Patrón Honda Performance Development (HPD) ARX-03b with Scott Sharp and Anthony Lazzaro.

The last time Brabham drove for ESM was at the season-opening 12 Hours of Sebring, where he helped ESM earn a fifth-place finish. Brabham, the two-time ALMS champion (2009, 2010), has 23 ALMS wins on his résumé, including two victories at Petit Le Mans in 1999 and 2010.
