Lemarie And Coronel |
With Johansson |
|
It was confirmed today that Stefan Johansson will be joined by Tom Coronel (as reported last Friday) and that the third driver in the Gulf Audi will be Patrick Lemarie. The other odd feature of the statement (dated today), other than the fact that Lemarie was listed for the second Ascari, is the intention to compete in "next month's French classic (16th-17th June)."
"Gulf branded cars have achieved an envious record of success in world endurance racing over four decades, this formidable driver line-up is a major coup for the team and underlines their commitment to add to Gulf's three previous outright wins at Le Mans."
"He (Lemarie) has a highly promising future in endurance racing and we appreciate the role of both Klaas Zwart and Ian Dawson of Team Ascari in allowing Patrick to join us at Le Mans," explains Mike Earle.
