Le Castellet Ready for Big ELMS Entry
Round 4 of the 2015 European Le Mans Series will take place at the Circuit Paul Ricard on the 5th and 6th September and the results in France will set the scene for the season finale in Portugal in October. Set hills on the Cote d’Azur in the South of France, Paul Ricard offers the teams and drivers a very different challenge from the tracks at Silverstone, Imola and Red Bull Ring, with its unique feature of the long 1.8 Km Mistral Straight, emulating the world famous Hunaudières Straight at Le Mans.
The LMP2 class will once again have the largest grid in Le Castellet, with 12 cars due to take the start. Victory in Austria last time out has put the Jota Sport trio of Filipe Albuquerque, Simon Dolan and Harry Tincknell at the top of the championship points table but are only two points in front of all French team and Imola race winners Thiriet by TDS Racing, Pierre Thiriet, Ludovic Badey and Tristan Gommendy, and 10 points advantage over Silverstone victors Greaves Motorsport (Gary Hirsch, Bjorn Wirdheim and Jon Lancaster).
