Although Dan Walmsley’s team had to bring the curtain down on their World Endurance Championship (WEC) season a little earlier than expected due to engine issues, Strakka Racing put in a brilliant performance at Le Mans last June, finishing just outside the podium places with only newer LM P2s ahead of the venerable Gibson 015S.
Strakka Racing were in fact one of the few teams to run an open-cockpit prototype like the HPD ARX-01c that took Jonny Kane, Nick Leventis and Danny Watts to LM P2 glory – and a magnificent overall 5th place – in the 24 Hours of Le Mans six years earlier.
To thank their fans in the run-up to Christmas, Strakka Racing are giving away lots of goodies, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans Official Annual, on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. To enter, simply follow the team on the various social media channels and like and/or share the #santastrakka posts.
