Team goals for the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans:
With a team entirely made up of rookies at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, Proton Competition’s main goal will be to finish the race. Vincent Abril is the only professional driver on the team. He was a Bentley works driver from 2015-18 and will be making his Le Mans début while chaperoning his two young amateur teammates. The car and team are reliable so it is now down to the drivers to drive a consistent race and avoid making any fatal mistake.
