ELMS – Olivier Lombard joins Sebastien Loeb Racing

The Sebastian Loeb Racing is now at full strength before facing a very busy 2014 season. Regarding theELMS, it remained to complete the crew of the No. 8 Audi R51 LMS ultra. Something done since yesterday with the formalization of Oliver Lombard alongside Henry Hassid and Mike Parisy. “I am more than delighted to join Sébastien Loeb Racing, Lombard explains. Je vais découvrir la voiture et le team, mais j?ai toujours su m?adapter rapidement. Mon objectif est de progresser et de me rapprocher au maximum de Mike Parisy tout en décrochant de bons résultats. Au-delà d?un nom prestigieux, le Sébastien Loeb Racing est une équipe très professionnelle. J?ai été séduit par la possibilité de relever un nouveau challenge en me confrontant aux nombreuses GT. C?est dans la continuité de la Porsche Carrera Cup. La Cup? se rapprochait du GT et je connais déjà l?ELMS mais en Protos. Ce sera donc un mix des deux. »

From today, Olivier Lombard will be testing with Sébastien Loeb Racing, before heading to Silverstone this weekend for the first round of the ELMS. “I will learn to discover my teammates. Henry is a very good gentleman driver. As for Mike, he is fast, professional and serious. It will certainly provide me with valuable help. I am young but I already know endurance well and my goal is to continue to progress. There is always a lot to learn and master in this discipline. I thank my partners who allowed me to seize this great opportunity. »
