24h Le Mans
He enjoys cycling, paella and action movies...
Stéphane Sarrazin would gladly exchange his 4 podiums or 3 pole positions for one win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. After Oreca, Pescarolo, Aston Martin and Peugeot, it's now with Toyota that he is attempting to put his name on the biggest endurance race in the world.
