Duqueine strengthens with the defending champion

Duqueine Team prepares for the 2024 seasonELMS. And for this new European campaign, the Gard team wants to be ambitious like its recruitment. Indeed, the French team has secured the services of James Allen, reigning champion with Algarve Pro Racing alongside Kyffin Simpson and Alex Lynn.

« I am very excited to participate in the 2024 ELMS season with Duqueine this year, welcomes the Australian. The team has consistently performed at a high level and I am honored that they asked me to be a part of their program. For my eighth consecutive season, I really feel that we have put together a team capable of fighting for the championship. I'm really looking forward to working with Carl, we've seen his talent start to shine in Asian Le Mans Series and I'm sure he will continue to do so. Jean-Baptiste comes from endurance in GT, I can't wait to welcome him in prototype this season and to start."

On Duqueine's Oreca 07 No. 30, James Allen will be joined by someone who has just discovered the house in the person of Carl Bennett. The 19-year-old driver contested the inaugural double header of the ALMS in Malaysia earlier this month, marking his prototype debut after a stint in the car. The last cartridge also arrives with the mention of “beginner” in the industry but he still has a big CV, particularly in GT3 since it is Jean-Baptiste Simmenauer.

« I am delighted to take on this new challenge, recognizes the latter. It’s great to join the championship as part of an experienced team and a strong group. I am grateful for the opportunity given to me and I am ready to take on the challenges that await me! I'm looking forward to the first event."
