CRS Racing will enter a Ferrari 430 into the new Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (ILMC) in 2011. The car will be raced by Pierre Ehret, Shaun Lynn and Roger Wills in the GTE Am class.

In 2010, Ehret experienced a Le Mans Series season with CRS Racing. Lynn and Wills have made their reputation with fast cars in great classic events.

Pierre Ehret: “I am very excited to be driving in this newly created series which covers all of my favourite tracks and also to be back again with CRS.”

Shaun Lynn: “We’re not underestimating the size of the challenge ahead of us. But with CRS we feel confident that we can have a good year in the ILMC.”

Roger Wills: “The ILMC is a huge challenge for a non-professional racing driver and it is not something we have taken on lightly. Both Shaun and I tested the Ferrari before Christmas and we are now looking forward to a great year of racing it at some of the top sportscar events in the world.”

Andrew Kirkaldy (Team Principal): “The ILMC presents CRS with a great opportunity to go and do the biggest GT races in the world. It’s a fantastic series for the drivers to participate in a championship that incorporates the big three of Sebring, Le Mans and Petit Le Mans. The GTE Am category is a great addition to the series and we think this will be hotly contested. Pierre has already been there and done these big events and knows exactly what to do. Both Shaun and Roger have got some impressive results not only in some quick historic cars but also in the modern racing that they have done; they also performed strongly in the tests in the GT2 Ferrari in December. Collectively they will be a very strong driving squad.”
