Laurents Hörr: “We want to win all four races”

After his four pole positions in European Le Mans Series in 2011, championship of which he is the defending champion, Laurents Hörr begins the year by adding two more to his list during the 4 Hours of Dubai, first double headers of the 2022 Asian Le Mans Series. “There is no big secret, the 24-year-old driver told us after the session. We have a good team around us. We were already fast in ELMS and we have experience from last year's Asian Le Mans Series. The car is fast, so I am too. »

DKR Engineering actually finished 6th in the championship in LM P3 last year with Laurents Hörr and the Belgian Jean Glorieux, who will race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the Luxembourg team this season alongside the German. This season, the latter is accompanied by the Frenchman Mathieu de Barbuat and the Mexican Sebastian Alvarez. “Our line-up is excellent, we don't make mistakes and that should allow us to get a good result. »

For Kendy Janclaes' team, the objective is to win all four races in order to secure a second ticket for the Sarthe classic. “You never come to finish second, we want to win all four races, but we’ll see what happens”, adds Laurents Hörr.

Despite the pace shown, the driver of the No. 4 Duqueine does not think it is possible to obtain an overall podium against the four LM P2s. At least if they don't encounter problems. " I do not think so. Normally they will be faster than us on the long runs, but if they have problems…” On a raceEndurance, anything can happen. Even over four hours.
