Team Race Performance has announced that it has signed Briton Oliver Webb to pilot its Oreca 03 R alongside Niki Leutwiler for the final two rounds of the current Asian Le Mans Series season in Thailand and Malaysia.
“We are really happy that with Oliver Webb one of the currently best LMP2 drivers signed with the team for the remaining two races of the Asian Le Mans Series”, explains Michel Frey.
“First of all he will support us to reach our goal to win the series and further more he is a real benchmark for the teams regular driver Niki Leutwiler. This is of great importance for the next season in the European Le Mans Series. We have experienced that the competition in the races for the LMP2 is really close, all teams are able to clinch victories. So it’s even more important for the team and the drivers to have a perfect preparation in all technical as well as mental matters.”
The penultimate round of the Asian endurance championship takes place at the 4.554 kilometres long and quick Buriram International Circuit. Team Race Performance already has two victories in the series prior to the round in Thailand.
“Our goal is to claim another podium in Buriram”, says team manager Michel Frey. “With a perfectly prepared car and the strong driver line up we should be able to fight at the top again.”
The three-hour race is due to be held on January 10th 2016.
