Team Goals for the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans:

Team manager Nicolas Minassian: "You always have to approach this race with a great deal of respect. We don't tell ourselves we have to get pole position, or we have to do this or that, you have to respect your competitors. The calibre is very high. We'd like to win and we can. Patrice Lafargue has really pushed the team to improve and we've reached a level among the best in the field in our category. A lot of things have to come together in order to win. We are better prepared than we were for our first participation in 2017. We have great drivers, great mechanics, everything is truly on point, we just need to make it happen."
