Optimum Motorsport announced today that Mark Crader and Alex Mortimer have partnered with the Wakefield-based team prior to the 2022 season.
2007 British GT Champion Mortimer has been competing in the Michelin Le Mans Cup since 2019 alongside fellow Brit, Crader. Both Mark and Alex became the 2018 European Radical Masters Supersport Champions after an intense season, securing 12 podiums and 8 victories to claim the title in the championship winning Radical SR8.
The agreement marks a new venture for Shaun Goff's company, with the driver duo running their #20 LMP3 car alongside the multiple McLaren 720S GT3's that Optimum runs.
The car's livery - inspired by the Optimum Motorsport original colours, features a geometric pattern across the front and sides of the car, whilst encapsulating the iconic blue and black stripes of Optimum's past.
With next year's calendar confirmed, Mark and Alex have plans to return to the Michelin Le Mans Cup - an international endurance series inspired by the 24 Hours of Le Mans, for another season. |
