The Endurance Cup will be made up of LM P3 prototypes as well as GT3s and will be contested during a 2h30 race on Saturday October 29. The grid will have previously been determined according to the average of the times achieved during three 15-minute qualifications.

Nicolas Lapierre, driver and founder of CLX Motorsport, is pumped up. “It’s always special to represent your country and the FIA ​​Motorsport Games will give us the opportunity. I experienced this during the A1 GP, which remains an excellent memory in my career. For the team and the drivers, it is a responsibility. We have to be at the best level and we work accordingly for that. The motivation is strong, but we will approach this meeting with great humility. LMP3 is a very competitive category and a particularly high level is expected. There will also be new parameters to take into account and therefore a somewhat specific preparation. It’s up to us to put everything in place in order to be ready on the big day.”

Cool Racing / CLX Motorsport sporting director Anthony Megevand said: “We were immediately attracted by the concept of the FIA ​​Motorsport Games and our objective was clearly to be at the start of this competition. We are therefore particularly happy to have the opportunity to represent France in the Endurance Cup. It is a pride and an honor to say that the team will wear the tricolor colors and as such we thank the FFSA and the organization for having accepted our candidacy. We tried to bring together all the elements to be efficient. Technically, the team knows the category very well. Sportingly, we have a trio of good quality with Nicolas and Antoine, whom we know well, and François whom we are delighted to welcome for the first time. We can't wait to discover this special event, with Marseille as the host city to boot. We are committed to achieving an excellent result. »
