From the test of Red Bull Ring (Austria, May 15-16) and until the end of the 2021 European season Le Mans Series (ELMS), l’Américain Cooper MacNeil pilotera la Porsche 911 RSR n°77 de l’équipe Proton Competition.
Second in campaign opener at Barcelona (Spain), Jaxon Evans therefore gives up his place alongside professionals Gianmaria Bruni and Christian Ried in the LM GTE class. “I can't wait to compete in the last ELMS races, Cooper MacNeil said. Unfortunately, I had to miss the first meeting due to a conflict of dates, but I will be present for the other five with Proton.
We came up with the idea of racing the ELMS based on the fact that there are three races before the 24 Hours of Le Mans in August. So get more time in the 911 RSR in racing conditions is the best way to prepare for it. It was an easy decision because there is no conflict with theIMSA ou Ferrari challenge. This relieves some of the pressure on the team to travel to the United States for testing and all the problems that come with that. »
