The 22 year old from Darlington is one of the leading figures in LM P2. In the Place de la République at Le Mans, he can sense the public interest in his team who are newcomers to the class : the Ligier JS P2.
How does this Sunday walkabout feel? "It is a very exciting feeling to be here at Le Mans for the second time in my career. This year, I joined a new team and a new crew and I drive a new car, the Ligier JS P2 showed great pace during the test day. I can't wait to joing the battle in LM P2! "
This class is exceptionally competitive? "Yes, absolutely. Over the years, the battle has gained in intensity, cars are neck-and-neck for the whole 24 hours. We will have to fight against very fast drivers and ultra competitive teams. "
In this context, what are you aiming for next Sunday? "Victory, of course. Last year, I tasted the joy of the podium finishing third, just behind the OAK Racing team! This year I want to win the race and all team members share this ambition. "
