De Chaunac: “Victory, do we dream of it? »

Team Oreca prepared well for its tests. There Peugeot 908 No. 10 is placed behind the factory cars of Peugeot and Audi. Team Oreca hopes to take advantage of its greater reliability, even if the team knows that a new feat like victory at Sebring will be extremely difficult to achieve.

“We arrive in all modesty and in all humility”, warns Hugues de Chaunac. “We will look to have a flawless race, like we did at Sebring. We will not worry about the race pace of the leaders.

We will already be delighted if we place ourselves in front of a Peugeot or Audi prototype. »
