24h Le Mans
Winner in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) and second in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2012, Thiriet by TDS Racing intends in 2014 to reclaim the title that Alpine grabbed last year - by stacking the chips in its favor and choosing to acquire a Morgan LM P2 car from Onroak Automotive, the automaker branch of OAK Racing.

The latter successfully achieved a 1-2 win in the LM P2 class at the 81st edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but also in the FIA World Endurance Championship, demonstrating the quality of Onroak productions. The Sarthe-based manufacturer was already proud to announce the sale of a Morgan LMP2 car to Pegasus Racing team, which completed its first laps at Magny-Cours last week.
Thiriet by TDS Racing will therefore have a Morgan LM P2 car for Pierre Thiriet, ELMS 2012 Champion, and Ludovic Badey, with whom he was associated at Le Mans last year, for the entire ELMS season. After the frame change, from Oreca to Onroak Automotive, the team promises more surprises before the start of the season, so stay tuned ...
