Ian Global Shipping to Sponsor #35 TPC Racing Porsche

BALTIMORE, May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Ian Global Shipping has announced that the company will sponsor the #35 TPC Racing Porsche GT3 competing in the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Special Reserve for the remainder of the 2006 season. The car is set to debut this weekend during the Rolex GT Series Challenge at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Connecticut. Ian Global Shipping is also a corporate sponsor in the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series and the official shipping provider of TPC Racing.

Ian Global Shipping was founded in 1987 by Glenn Lobas of Baltimore, Maryland. The company offers comprehensive global shipping solutions by providing air and ocean freight forwarding, trucking, warehousing, and customs clearance services. Ian Global Shipping also specializes in domestic and international auto shipping, particularly of rare and exotic vehicles and race cars. Ian Global Shipping has built a reputation within the transportation industry for superior customer service and stress-free transactions. Customers know that one phone call to Ian means one provider and just one invoice for each job.

TPC Racing, led by team owner and driver Michael Levitas, also from the Baltimore area, reached the pinnacle of success in sports car racing this past January by winning the GT class in the prestigious Rolex 24 at Daytona. TPC Racing also posted a third-place finish in class at Virginia International Raceway in April. TPC Racing has competed in the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series since 2000, winning more than 20 times in class and claiming the 2004 SGS-class championship.

"Ian Global Shipping is extremely excited to be sponsoring the #35 TPC Racing Porsche," said Lobas. "Our company has been looking for the right opportunity for increased visibility. After meeting Michael and seeing his commitment to his sponsors and to winning, we were able to come on board for the remainder of TPC's races this season. Much of our business involves auto shipping, so we are expecting that our sponsorship of TPC Racing and our association with the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series will make beneficial relationships for us."

"We are thrilled to have Ian Global Shipping join TPC Racing," said Levitas. "We're confident that we'll have the #35 Porsche GT3 running up front and providing a ton of exposure for Ian Global Shipping. TPC Racing is hoping that this is just the start of a long and successful partnership."

TPC Racing drivers Spencer Pumpelly and Michael Levitas will pilot the #35 Ian Global Shipping Porsche GT3. The Rolex GT Series Challenge at Lime Rock Park is scheduled for Monday, May 29, and will be televised on SPEED Channel at 2:30 p.m. ET.
