Pecom Racing, discovering the Oreca 03

After Signatech, TDS and Boutsen Energy, the Pecom Racing team is the fourth team to opt for the Oreca 03-Nissan package. It must be said that the French chassis powered by the Japanese engine showed itself to be particularly efficient last season, notably outperforming the Lola B11/40-Judd from Pecom Racing. “We have seen the performance of the Oreca 03 this season and, in our opinion, it was the best decision to make, underlines boss Amato Ferrari. This choice was motivated by the competitiveness and reliability of the Oreca 03. I also had the opportunity to visit Oreca, and I discovered some impressive installations there. With Luis Perez Companc (which finances the project. Editor’s note), we were convinced that it was the right thing to do. »

As a reminder, the team, a branch of AF Corse, will trust the Frenchman Soheil Ayari, the German Pierre Kaffer and the Argentinian Luis Perez-Companc. This month, the Amato Ferrari troops went to the Paul-Ricard circuit to carry out the shakedown of their new car, before heading to the Spanish circuit of Jerez to carry out a first test session. . “The session went well, continues Amato Ferrari. We tried to understand how the car worked. We were able to complete no less than 1200 kilometers without encountering the slightest problem. We are satisfied. Soheil knows the car well. Like the team, Luis and Pierre were won over. They appreciated his behavior and had good feelings. We were alone on the track, but we think we were fast. » So, what will be the objective in 2012? “We are aiming for the title. We know it will be difficult, facing tough competition, but we want to win the championship. »
