GT FFSA – Pasquali with ART Grand Prix at Le Mans

French GT FFSA champion in 2011, Laurent Pasquali has been playing since the start of the season within the Pro GT by Alméras team alongside Franck Perera. While he occupies provisional fourth place in the championship, he has therefore decided to join Frédéric Vasseur's team for the penultimate round of the season, which will take place this weekend at Le Mans.

« Tout le monde connaît mon attachement pour la marque Porsche, explains Pasquali. But this opportunity presented itself and I decided to change for personal reasons. This Mclaren is magnificent, Ulric is an excellent driver and ART Grand Prix? It’s ART Grand Prix! Is it necessary to present this team which has been shining for years in car and who is successfully discovering the GT this year? It?s a recognized team and I get along well with Fred Vasseur and Georges Kaczka, whom I knew ten years ago in karting. Everything comes together to do it well. »

Even if he knows that his debut at the wheel of the McLaren MP4-12C will not be easy, Pasquali hopes to be at the forefront at Le Mans. “ I must first discover the car, He added. Friday sessions will be synonymous with learning. Afterwards, given the performance of the car and Ulric, I hope to score big points in the championship. If we can get the McLaren to win, I would be very honored. But the field is high and we will have to count on drivers like Franck (Perera). I have good memories of our victories. He?s a great guy and we did a great job together. »
