Monteiro with Oreca in Portimao

Tiago Monteiro announces it on his official website, he will be in Portimao at the end of July to compete in the 1000km of Algarve with Oreca. The Portuguese will thus have the opportunity to compete in the third round of the LMS in front of his home crowd. The former pilot of F1 has just been aligned, by Oreca, during the 24 Hours of Le Mans, within crew no. 10, alongside Stéphane Ortelli and Bruno Senna. Impeccable in the race, the Portuguese saw the Oreca 01 AIM prototype abandon after 15h30 of racing due to mechanical problems. It should be remembered that Oreca is involved in endurance but also in WTCC, since the Oreca group prepares and operates two Seat Lon TDi, driven by Yvan Muller and Tiago Monteiro.

Tiago Monteiro was obviously delighted with the request from the Oreca team, especially since the Portimao event does not take place at the same time as a WTCC round. “ The Le Mans experience was really positive, declared the Portuguese on his official website. I am proud and happy that Hugues de Chaunac invites me to participate in the Algarve 1000km. It is a night race, which increases the challenge. I thank Seat for allowing me to take it up because it is spacious for me. First of all, because I'm going to race in front of my home crowd, on a circuit that I really like. And it will also be an opportunity to share good times with my friends and my sponsors »
