ROMAIN DUMAS TO DRIVE FOR PESCAROLO SPORT AT LE MANS

 27 March 2007
As previously announced as part of his 2007 programme, Romain Dumas has confirmed that he will take part in the Le Mans 24 Hours behind the wheel of a LMP1 prototype this year, as part of the driver line-up for Pescarolo Sport. He had his first experience of the car at the LMS Test Day on 25/26 March. During the two days of testing, Romain was able to get to know the car and the team. In addition to the classic French endurance race in June, Romain will also be driving alongside J.C.Bouillon in the No.16 Pescarolo for the 1000 Kms of Valence, a round of the Le Mans Series.  

A new team, a new car, and new colours, … to mark his drive in the two European events, Romain will use a helmet with the same design but with a slightly different colour scheme - the grey areas will be replaced by chrome.

But before all this, Romain will return to the USA to attempt to win the American Le Mans Series title. The next round will be held at St Petersburg in Florida, at a circuit where Romain has never raced before. Then two weeks later, the ALMS will be at Long Beach, another track which was not on last year’s calendar.
