Sarthe trio for Boutsen Ginion at Le Mans

For its first season in LMP2 last year, Boutsen Ginion Racing, which was still called Boutsen Energy Racing, did well. Always performing well, the Belgian Oreca 03-Nissan managed to achieve two podiums in LMS. This year, in addition to the European Le Mans Series, the 24 Hours of Le Mans are also on the program. News learned last Thursday, during the ACO press conference, and which obviously delights all the members of the team. “Le Mans is the most difficult race in the world, it is also a wonderful adventure, underlines Thierry Boutsen, who has started the Le Mans classic 10 times. We can be proud to have been selected by the organizers and I am delighted to see our team defend its colors! »

For the moment, the team managed by Olivier Lainé has only revealed one of its three drivers, Bastien Brière. The only certainty is that the crew will be 100% from Sarthe. “I followed the selection of the car live with the whole team, says Bastien Brière. It was a great moment, like the season that awaits us! I am very happy ! The understanding is perfect, the team spirit is there, everyone is very motivated and ready to give their all. I am now in a hurry to ride to prepare for the upcoming races”. First race, the 6 Hours of Le Castellet, opening round of the?ELMS, the 1st of April.
