ELMS - 28/06/2013
Six ELMS participants entered the LMGTE Pro and Am category at Le Mans 24 Hours. Five of them made it to the final chequered flag, and IMSA Performance Matmut recorded the 100th victory for Porsche in Le Mans.
The only LMGTE Pro entry from the ELMS, JMW Motorsport's Ferrari 458 Italia, took the chequered flag 10th in class.
In LMGTE Am, the full ELMS season No.55 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia of Piergiuseppe Perazzini, Lorenzo Casè and Darryl O'Young finished the 81st 24 Hours of Le Mans on the second step of the podium in front of its big sister, the No.61 entry from the FIA WEC. The team's second LMGTE Am entry was forced to retire at 03h31 after going off track (release here).
The 100% all-American team of Patrick Dempsey, Joe Foster and Patrick Long took their Dempsey Del Piero-Proton Porsche 911 GT3 RSR to the foot of the podium, finishing in 4th place at Le Mans.
At IMSA Performance Matmut it was the No.76 WEC Porsche 911 RGT3 RSR entry which took victory in class. Its ELMS sister, the No.67, finished the race 7th in its category. It was a very pleasing year for the French team which recorded its second 24 Hours of Le Mans victory as well as the 100th of the Porsche marque in the world's greatest endurance race (release here).
At the wheel of their No.75 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR campaigned by ProSpeed Competition, François Perrodo, Sébastien Crubilé and Emmanuel Collard avoided all the pitfalls offered by this legendary race: the rain, the many racing incidents…and the many safety car interventions. The trio finished in 9th place in the LMGTE Am category at the close of the twice-round-the-clock event. Mentored by the experienced Collard, Perrodo and Crubilé achieved their objectives while, at the same time, demonstrated their driving progress and their determination (release here)
