ALMS – Dumas, Muscle Milk’s chance at Petit Le Mans

Muscle Milk Pickett Racing knows Romain Dumas well since the Frenchman has already competed in two events with the American team, even winning the Mosport GP last year with a Porsche RS Spyder. The former winner of 24 Hours of Le Mans will discover the HPD ARX-03a of Klaus Graf and Lucas Luhr for the Petit Le Mans final, the two Germans having a comfortable lead at the top of the Championship. “I have good memories with Greg Pickett’s team”, recognizes the double champion of the American endurance discipline. “I am very happy to be back with Muscle Milk Pickett Racing. A team that impressed me with its professionalism, its motivation and its dedication. These are necessarily values ​​that we appreciate. »

If Romain Dumas has never driven the HPD ARX-03a, the Road Atlanta circuit no longer holds any secrets for him. After coming close to victory for his first participation in Pikes Peak, the French driver intends to achieve another success with Muscle Milk despite the presence of Rebellion Racing who will field a Lola B12/60-Toyota entrusted to Neel Jani, Nicolas Cheers and Andrea Belicchi. ?I?ve always said that it?s one of my favorite routes,? confides the multiple winner of the Georgian event. “There is relief and fast curves which are a real treat in prototype. It is a track on which the driver still has the opportunity to make the difference and the atmosphere which reigns there is always special. It's a meeting that we don't want to miss and I'm delighted to have the opportunity to be at the start in the premier category. This event quickly became one of the classics of the event.Endurance and I want to get the victory in the general classification. I already won in GT in 2003, for my first race in ALMS, then in LMP2 in 2007, finishing less than a second from a scratch victory. Muscle Milk Pickett Racing has shown all its qualities over the last few seasons and the HPD ARX-03a, which I am going to discover, is very competitive. We have all the elements to shine. »
