A new driver line up will take the wheel of the Oreca 07, equipped with Michelin tyres still with the number 39.


After two  very promising European seasons in LMP2  Alexandre Cougnaud will renew its trust to the team. He will share the wheel with James Allen and Thomas Laurent, the 2016 ELMS rookie of the year making its come back in the championship. 


For the LMP3 category, we will trust Ligier, with the new JPS320 which comply with the new regulations. Winter tests are very promising. We discovered a car very nice to drive. We have reunited a very homogeneous line-up : Arnold and Maxime Robin, alongside Vincent Capillaire, that will bring his experience to his teammates. 

 

Pascal Roturier: "I have real faith in our drivers and our technical team to reach our victory goals. This season will once again be exciting! Can’t wait to be  on Sunday, April 5th for the first race in Barcelona! »

Thomas Laurent: "« I am really glad to be part of the team with my new teammates! I think this is a driver line up and a team who can and will do everything to win. I am strongly determined to get as many victories as possible this year. Can’t wait to meet the whole team! »

Arnold Robin: "« I wish to thank the whole team for welcoming me. I am very enthusiastic to start this new adventure with GRAFF, Maxime and Vincent. I can’t wait for the season to start!»
