RML won the Le Mans Series, as the ELMS was then called, in 2007 and 2010. This time round, they will be joining forces with Mectech Motorsport, well known for their performance in Radical championships. The aim of the joint venture is to work up the endurance ladder towards the holy grail, i.e. a place on the grid at Le Mans 24 Hours.
Simon Holloway, Commercial Director at RML, comments: “At RML we see this as a great opportunity to re-enter Sports car racing and have been monitoring the LMP3 category for a while. The ACO have done a brilliant job introducing a very cost effective formula that provides great racing for Pro and Am drivers. With RML and Mectech the ladder exists for aspiring drivers to make it all the way from dreaming of racing to the podium at Le Mans.”
The British team will soon be announcing an ambitious programme with several cars in the ELMS.
