John Falb : « The ELMS has put together a great platform in the ELMS P3 category that is very attractive. There is a manageable number of races on the best tracks in the world with the opportunity to race on La Sarthe prior to Le Mans. Sean was thoroughly impressed with the Ligier JSP3 in December and GRAFF has been very impressive in testing with a long history of racing in Europe.

P3 is a great way to further my driving experience with long stints in the car; which is what I love. » 

Bob Corliss : « I am very excited to be driving the new JSP53 LMP3 car on some of the world's greatest race tracks. Team Graff is a top tier team team and both of my co-drivers, John Falb and Sean Rayhall are excellent drivers. My objective is simply to do my best in supporting the team to be as competitive as possible. »

I know from past experience with both of them it will be a strong line up and with Graff as a strong race team I believe we will be a top contender for the championship. I raced with Robert Talbott as a sponsor in 2013 and I'm very happy to have them back as our title sponsor for this season! I cannot wait to for testing to begin after the Rolex 24 hours. It will be a very busy year for me racing in
