"I'm delighted to jump in and help out; I have bags of experience at this circuit, so I don't need to learn the circuit, just the car a little bit. It's an LMP2 Oreca, which is a downforce car, so I'm used to that! I'll be working with both John and Colin in #24. It will be key to ensure that the car is best suited for them, and then I adapt my driving style to the final setup."
Nick Yelloly
Nick, John and Colin will be joined by the sister Pro car #27 of David Heinemeier Hansson, Will Stevens and Nico Pino. The full LMEM package will be pressent at Spa, with Wayne Boyd and Tony Wells looking to secure some silverware in the Le Mans Cup after 70 days off, and Ben Caisley joining the Ligier European Series in the JSP4.
