This is very good news for the ALMS, which until then only had two LMP1s entered per year. From the next round, at Lime-Rock on July 9, Dyson Racing will enter a second Lola-Mazda alongside the No. 16 lined up for Guy Smith and Chris Dyson.

At the wheel we will find the Emirati Humaid Al Masaood, 3rd in the 2008-2009 United Arab Emirates Radical Championship, and winner of the SP3 class at the last 24 Hours of Dubai. He also took part, at the wheel of this same car, in several rounds of the FIA ​​GT4 European Championship. He will share the wheel with Steven Kane. This Briton finished 3rd in the British National Class F3 in 2003, and 9th overall in 2005. After trying Formula Renault 3.5 Series avec Epsilon Euskadi en 2006, il a terminé 3e de la Porsche Carrera Cup GB 2007.

“Dyson Racing is an extremely professional team, which currently occupies the lead in the Drivers' rankings in ALMS, but also in the Manufacturers' and Teams' rankings, underlines Humaid Al Masaood. Being invited to ride in their second car is an honor. »

“Running two cars makes it possible to run two programs in parallel during a weekend, explains team boss Rob Dyson. This makes it possible in particular to pinpoint a better set-up on Saturday. This partnership will allow us to improve our chances of winning the championship. »
