Kox/ Pronk

The brand spanking new Ligier LMP3 was delivered here at Paul Ricard on Saturday and ran on Sunday and is set to run here on Tuesday too. It is not entered for the ELMS but rather Pronk will test extensively and race selectively in Supercar Challenge and VdeV and develop his skillset with the car ahead of a potential 2017 ELMS campaign.

This JSP3 is chassis number 48 with 50+ orders for the car now apparently placed!

Konopka lost out to a paperwork muddle on an ELMS entry in his ex Lanan Racing Ginetta LMP3 but is set to enter the Asian Le Mans Series, potentially with a 2 car effort.

The car owner will drive here together with Ginetta race winner for Team LNT last year the ex Nissn backed Gaetan Paletou with Christopher Zanella also listed. Ex LMP2 racer Joey Foster is also slated to drive but is delayed in the UK by the current woes with the French air traffic control strike and may not attend.

The 2016 Garage 56 Effort is here with all three drivers whose programme currently is the SIlverstone ELMS race, the Le Mans test and the Le Mans 24 Hours proper in an LMP2 car adapted for use by quad amputee Frederic Sausset, a truly heroic effort.
