Team Manager, Jacob Greaves.“The team had a very positive Test Day, both getting the drivers qualified and testing our Le Mans aerodynamic package. The changeable conditions meant that we also learnt a lot about how to get the optimal set up on the car in both wet, dry and mixed conditions.

It was a great way to start our partnership with Caterham Motorsport who brought significant expertise to the mix. The Nissan engine, the Zytek chassis and the Dunlop tyres combined really well and the team is looking forward to the challenge against the large, high quality LM P2 grid.
