In the days that follow, I will go to the workshop to meet the entire team as well as my new teammates. I know they are extremely fast and reliable. I think we can form a successful trio. »

However, the Frenchman knows that the competition will be fierce and that he will have to fight to achieve victory in Sarthe. “Personally, I think the HPD and Judd engines have a small advantage over the Nissan engine in terms of power. It would be good if the ACO could do something before the race. If this is the case, we can play for the podium. Otherwise, it remains a 24-hour race and anything can happen. For my part, my objective for this eleventh participation will obviously be to be on the podium. »
