Whilst the team’s headline programme in 2021 is their new FIA WEC commitment in LMP2, the Inter-Europol Competition squad has spent the winter in the preparation of their two Ligier JS P320 LMP3 for the 2021 European Le Mans Series.
The big news so far is that Martin Hippe, ELMS Drivers Championship runner-up in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and 2018/19 Asian Le Mans Series Champion, will be back behind the wheel in the #13 LMP3.
Hippe has consistently been one of the fastest and most consistent bronze-ranked rivers in the ELMS where the title has been hotly contested against high-quality efforts in recent years.
Over the last couple of months, the team moved its operations to Marki (near Warsaw) in Poland, closer to its main sponsor, the Inter Europol commercial bakery.
Sascha Fassbender (team manager): “We are happy to have Martin with us again. He is one of the fastest and most consistent bronze drivers in the ELMS since 2017 when he became bronze.
“Obviously, the challenge for 2021 in the European Le Mans Series is to finish one place better than the last three years. The mechanics have worked very hard to get both cars ready to race, and with two months to go, we can dot the i’s and cross the t’s.
“However, we are still looking for drivers who like to join us this season to fight for the title.”
