Le Castellet: What the drivers say

Ben Hanley

No21 Dragonspeed Oreca-Gibson

“The season so far has been frustrating I would say. We’ve always shown the pace but we had some unfortunate circumstances in Silverstone with some issues with the car and it was the same in Austria, so we need to have a clean run to the end here this weekend in Le Castellet.  The positives are we’ve shown we have the pace, so hopefully from now until the rest of the season we can be clean and error free.

“I quite like Le Castellet, we had a good result here last year so there is no reason we can’t do it again.  We tested here at the beginning of this week and we found some improvements with the car, so things are looking positive.”

« Le Castellet is a great track, it’s a beautiful place, we are in the Cote d’Azur and the sun is shining! It’s the perfect circuit for the LMP2 so it’s a real pleasure. We are looking forward to race here and we are ready!”

“For this race, we can start all over again concerning the manufacturer, the pace is really fast and everything is a matter of details, competition is really good which is positive. The new LMP2 is a lot faster than last year, it is reliable and it’s a pleasure to drive it.”
