Atualizando Le Mans

RIO DE JANEIRO – Com a proximidade do Journée Test, marcado para daqui a duas semanas em Le Mans, as equipes inscritas nas 24 Horas têm que se decidir quanto aos pilotos que vão compor as trincas de cada carro. Pouco a pouco, as escuderias definem seu destino e o blog atualiza a lista de inscritos para Sarthe.

A última notícia envolve o tailandês Tor Graves. Ele estava em recuperação de um problema de saúde, mas decidiu pôr ponto final em sua carreira de piloto, aos 42 anos de idade. Graves será substituído na equipe Murphy Prototypes pelo francês Nathanaël Berthon.

Também a RAM Racing anunciou mudanças: Federico Leo vai correr com Matt Griffin e Álvaro Parente no carro inscrito na divisão LMGTE-PRO e Archie Hamilton será parceiro de Matt Griffin e Mark Patterson pela LMGTE-AM.
