Team Virage has revealed its first crew for the 2021 European season Le Mans Series in LMP3 alongside its first full season in the Michelin Le Mans Cup.
Founded in 2018 by Philippe Gautheron and Julien Gerbi, Team Virage has established itself as one of the benchmark teams in LMP3 with the Ligier JSP320 by winning the Ultimate Cup Series title in 2020.
For this season ELMS, Team Virage announces a 100% North American line-up with Rob Hodes and Charles Crews (United States) and Garett Grist (Canada). This experienced line-up has the advantage of having already raced together in the ELMS and the Asian Le Mans Series. Rob Hodes and Garett Grist will benefit from a double program with Team Virage by also participating in the Michelin Le Mans Cup.
Rob Hodes, the crew's first Bronze driver, started his career in LMP3 in 2017 after racing in the Series Ferrari and Lamborghini and winning a round of the Ferrari Challenge North America. Also Bronze, Charles Crews recently put on the gloves again after a break of around ten years, and scored a podium on his return. Garett Grist, the youngest driver in the crew and only Silver, showed solid pace in LMP3 and LMP2, recording an ALMS runner-up title in 2019 and a 3rd place in ELMS in 2018.
