The No. 34 crew will therefore make its return to LMP2 Pro-Am, still with Salih Yoluç and Charlie Eastwood. A change to the LM P2 Pro-Am regulations will see the Bronze driver take charge of qualifying sessions. It is therefore the reigning champion and winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Salih Yoluç, who will have the honor of defining the starting grid position for Racing Team Turkey. The Turkish team will operate an Oreca 07 from the TF Sport structure.

“It’s great to return to the European Le Mans Series with Racing Team Turkey to defend the championship title this year, rejoiced Tom Ferrier, sporting director of TF Sport. Having Louis, the reigning ELMS champion, join the team can only help to improve on the successes we achieved last season. Salih has shown huge progress year on year and with his speed in the majority of Bronze driver sessions in 2022, I have no doubt we will see plenty of pole positions for the Racing Team Turkey crew! »
