Work done during winter with our technical partners: Onraok Automotive, Judd and Dunlop must pay off. We are more than impatient to be next weekend.”
Franck Mailleux “Silverstone is a racetrack I know for years, I raced in the home of British motorsport last year as part of theWorld Endurance Championship in LMP2 category. Both practice days in South France were successfull and we have been ableto work on the overall set-up of the car but also to test Dunlop tyres. Morgan and Judd are both competitive and we will do ourbest to bring back a great result from Great Britain. We showed we have great potential and team can rely on my commitment.”
Natacha Gachnang “I raced in Silvertsone in Formula 2, World GT but also Formula Le Mans and I always appreciate thisvenue. It's a tricky racetrack with high speed curves, long straight ligns, it's also a great mix between technical and drivingdifficulties. Work done in South France will give us a hand in Silverstone. Weather can be an important factor on Friday andSaturday. Rain or shine we are ready !”
