The Inception Racing by Optimum Motorsport team has confirmed that Ben Barnicoat will complete the line-up for the Ferrari 488 GTE to 24 Hours of Le Mans (August 21 and 22).

Brendan Iribe and Ollie Millroy were already announced in the entry list official. Usually owner of a McLaren GT3, Inception Racing had to change to a Ferrari, since the English car is not eligible in GTE.

“It's just a wonderful feeling to come back to the 24 Hours of Le Mans,” explains Bas Leinders, the team principal. Especially since it was not planned, and we had this chance thanks to our excellent performances in the Asian Le Mans Series. I've raced in GT1, LMP2 and LMP1 and it doesn't matter what category you race in, it's just amazing.

We are also extremely pleased with the progress Brendan has made. He only started driving a GT3 in June 2020. A large part of a good result in the Pro-Am category depends on the performance of the Bronze driver and I am confident that he will continue to improve. As the race is postponed until August, this will give us a little more time to organize ourselves and be as ready as possible. »
