Emmanuel Collard defends title with Porsche

Emmanuel collard, new champion le mans series, forsakes the wheel of his pescarolo for the porsche 911 he will race saturday at the petit le mans.

Once is not a habit: Emmanuel Collard, new champion Le Mans Series (with Julien Jousse), forsakes the wheel of his Pescarolo for the Porsche 911 he will race Saturday at the Petit Le Mans.

It's a homecoming for the Frenchman who, after having driven for Corvette in 2010, finds himself with Porsche for which he was "works driver" between 1997 and 2009. On the occasion of Petit Le Mans, the new LMS champion strengthens the Paul Miller Racing team where he joins Bryce Miller and Sascha Maassen. On Saturday, Emmanuel Collard will defend his title in the GTE class as last year he won driving a Corvette C6.R (GT2).

Emmanuel Collard, driver: "I ​​am very happy to be back here because the last time I came, that is to say that last year, I won with Corvette! I am particularly happy to join Sascha (Maassen) whom I knew when we were at Porsche. I also know Bryce (Miller) since we drove together at Daytona. In short, I know everyone but the mechanics! I already feel confident in the team."

Bryce Miller, driver: "I'm really excited to drive with Emmanuel. He is very fast but also very experienced and he knows how and when to be patient. Experience has always the way to succeed at the Petit Le Mans and make a difference in 10 hours. "

Sascha Maassen, driver: "I ​​knew Manu long ago when we were children. He had beaten me in karting and then we drove together in GT and the Porsche RS Spyder LM P2. He has always been fast and reliable. This is the best choice. "
