ELMS – The double pass for Thiriet by TDS Racing?

Last year, for only its second season in Endurance, the Thiriet by TDS Racing had the luxury of winning the European Le Mans Series with his duo Pierre Thiriet-Mathias Beche. This weekend at Paul-Ricard, during the final round of the 2013 opus, Xavier Combet and his men hope to do it again. “We managed to take the points from 6th place (in Hungary. Editor’s note) but we are joined at the top of the championship, underlined the Swiss Mathias Beche on September 12 at the end of the 3 Hours of the Hungaroring, even if he personally will not be able to win a second crown after missing the first races. We have only one objective: to win at Paul Ricard. It is a circuit that we know well and where we have always had good results. It will be up to us to get this title! »

To do this, we will have to get ahead the Signatech team Alpine by Philippe Sinault, which has the same number of points. But the Thiriet by TDS Racing is sure of its strengths. If it was not successful in Budapest, the No. 03 Oreca 1-Nissan is the only one to have won two races this season (at Imola and at Red Bull Ring). “It will be a great challenge. admits Pierre Thiriet for his part. We would have preferred to be a little ahead, but we will only have one desire: to be in front of them (at Paul-Ricard. Editor’s note). And we will do all we can to achieve this. »

During the last visit of the European Le Mans Series to the Castellet circuit last year, victory went to… Thiriet by TDS Racing and its Beche-Thiriet duo. There are therefore many reasons to believe in it, but be careful, the pilots Alpine Pierre Ragues and Nelson Panciatici also have strengths to showcase. So as it says Philippe Sinault, " May the best win. »
