K-PAX Racing and Orange1 have confirmed a partnership that sees both parties team up for the 74th running of the TotalEnergies 24 Hours of Spa, July 28-31 at Spa-Francorchamps.
“We are delighted to have Orange1 on-board, helping us as we look to build from our 2020 debut at the TotalEnergies 24 Hours of Spa,” K-PAX Racing Team Owner Jim Haughey said. “Orange1 is an innovative company founded on precision and performance. With that said, our vision and goal to create positive results align. K-PAX Racing is ready to return to Spa, mixing our prior experience with renewed determination.”
While team members and drivers have continuously been represented in the event, K-PAX Racing will officially make its second appearance in the last three seasons. K-PAX Racing was able to secure a top-10 placing in its 2020 debut, and for the upcoming event, the programme will work alongside Lamborghini Squadra Corse with its single Huracán GT3 EVO entry. Drivers Andrea Caldarelli, Jordan Pepper and Marco Mapelli have been called into action for the race.
Orange1 is one of the most important European manufacturers of single-phase and three-phase asynchronous electric motors, foundry and turning parts.
“We’re thrilled to have a partnership between Orange1 Electric Motors and K-Pax, supported by Lamborghini SC,” said Orange1 President Armando Donazzan. “Everything starts from Spa for an important internationalization of the brand in the US market. This is strategic for the future plans of Orange1.”
Orange1 has already made a strong presence in motorsports, partnering with GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS participant and Lamborghini Squadra Corse supported FFF Racing since 2016. Caldarelli also shares a seat simultaneously on the programme.
