It’s a big challenge and a new stage for our team which was only born last year. The results were good, but this time we are entering another dimension that we do not yet know very well. I am very confident because we have the men to succeed. We are going there with a lot of humility, but also great ambitions ».

The timing is now tight since the first car will be received on February 25. She will then take part in her first tests with Michelotto, designer of the car. “ Then it will be time to board for Sebring where we will take part in the tests organized on the Monday preceding the event. On the other hand, not knowing when we will receive the second car, its presence in Florida is far from assured. », Announces Campbell. The No. 59 present during the opening round will be entrusted throughout the season to the trio Stéphane Ortelli, Frédéric Makowiecki and Jean-Denis Deletraz, while the second will be shared by Anthony Beltoise and François Jakubowski, plus a third driver still to be determine. “ But who has Le Mans experience and team spirit? », specifies the team manager.
