ALMS: Conquest Endurance wants victories

“Riding in ALMS is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. We had a first experience supporting Zytek at Le Petit Le Mans 2008, and I am delighted to now be there full time ». This year Eric Bachelart decided to launch his team into the deep end.Endurance. For this, he purchased a Morgan LMP2 built by Onroak Automotive, the manufacturer branch of Oak Racing. The car having been received shortly before Sebring, the Floridian clock tour proved to be a complicated affair for the Belgian team, which was however able on several occasions to showcase its value as well as that of the? auto. “The car has a lot of potential, and we hope to do more development with it to continue to progress it, He continues. We work very closely with Oak Racing in France, and we have already seen what this chassis is capable of achieving, having taken pole and the fastest lap in the race at the 12 Hours of Sebring. The car has a lot of potential, and we look forward to demonstrating its speed in the remaining rounds of the championship.".

However, the task does not appear to be simple. Because if the category only has four competitors, we will have to face the formidable HPD ARX-03b from Level 5 Motorsports. But a man of challenges, Eric Bachelart does not hesitate to display his objectives: “We have a good team, fast drivers and a powerful chassis. We want to be competitive and win races. The podium at Sebring was a bit lucky, but our goals for 2012 are high. We want to fight for victory wherever we go. I am convinced that we have the potential to do so. We want to show what the Morgan can achieve, and as a distributor we would like to see more of it on the track next year?. In Long Beach, this weekend, on a city circuit on which the Morgan LMP2 will be able to demonstrate the qualities of its chassis, the No. 37 of Martin Plowman and David Heinemeier-Hansson could shine, even if it will be necessary to ?team adapt to Nissan V8 which replaced the Judd used at Sebring.
