“It’s great to see our new WEC program racing on our home circuit, especially after the excellent experience we had at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, rejoices Rene Rosin, Team Principal. Obviously, although we know a lot about this circuit, this will only be the second time we have raced there with a prototype car, and there is still a lot to learn. We are counting on Robert, Louis and Lorenzo because they have been extraordinary so far, and we want to fully support them with teamwork in an event that has many challenges and delicate elements. I think we showed we have potential, but we have to work hard to put it into practice and be competitive week in and week out. »
