US racing icon Dan Gurney drives MP II at MPG Dean Batchelor Awards

12/4/07

The CXC Motion Pro II was featured at the Motor Press Guild’s prestigious Dean Batchelor Awards banquet at the Petersen Automotive Museum. In attendance were prominent members of the automotive press, as well as auto industry and motor racing luminaries. Among the celebrants who tried the MP II was racing icon Dan Gurney, whose son Alex, 2007 Grand-Am champion, had gotten seat time at CXC’s October launch.

“It’s very, very good,” said Gurney, the only American to win a Grand Prix in a car of his own manufacture. “Allie (Alex) told me, but now I know what he was talking about.

“It’s very realistic. I’m sure he did better than I did, but I’ll tell you,” he added, laughing, “next time I’m darn sure not going to drink any wine before I drive it!”
