Dominik Kraihamer and Nicolas De Crem in LMP2 !!
A new step for the team !
They were already participating to the Le Mans Series Championship, in the Formula Le Mans ranking. In 2011, Dominik Kraihamer and Nicolas De Crem, cross 1 more step in their career as they participate to the prestigious Le Mans Series Championship, driving an Oreca 03 LMP2 !!!
The 2 drivers knows each other well, and we wish them all the success they deserve !
We wish them a lot of success !
8 Hours of Le Castellet :
Rolling start of the race : while the light turns green, the safety car remains on track for a second round, behind it is the "strike"! Dominik who is driving realizes a superb start. After 3 hours of racing, our car is pointed in second place, just behind a LMP1 ! But suddenly, when Nicolas De Crem enters the pits after a perfect relay, he is unable to get the car running : the battery gave up the ghost. The time to change it, we lose precious minutes ..
Finally, a 4th place LMP2. But lots of hope for the rest of the season 2011.
1000 kms of Spa
At the moment of our car, driven by Dominik, crossed the finish line of 1000 kms of Spa, the cheers have blended into our stand, as we all enjoyed the performance at its fair value. Even if the Le Mans Series Championship is an Endurance championship, the races are true sprints where every second counts. During the second part of the race, and while we were leading the race, we had to shorten our relay due to a fuel pump problem, prevented us from exploiting the last liters of fuel, and as a consequence, we had to refuel more than expected.
To play it safe and to finish the race, Dominik had to go through the stands 20 minutes before arrival. Despite the speed of our mechanics, this operation has cost us a minute because the pit lane is very long in Francorchamps. And we finish the race in second position, 43 seconds after the winner. The calculation is quickly done ..
The most important in this race, was to sneak at full speed in the traffic caused by the 60 participating cars (a lot of red flags during the practice and qualifying session ..).
Nicolas De Crem, as Dominik Kraihamer, were well able to take them ahead of the game they were very fast, consistent, they both aligned very good times during the 6 hours race.
Good luck, boys !
