Michelin - Le Mans - L’Endurance, L’histoire continue  C’est une longue histoire, un parcours commun et fructueux qui se poursuit aujourd’hui, avec la signature d’un nouveau contrat de partenariat pour au moins trois saisons (2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021) entre l’Automobile Club de l’Ouest et les 24 Heures du Mans, le FIA WEC (Championnat du Monde d’Endurance de la FIA) et Michelin.  L’aventure a commencé en 1923, lors de la première édition des 24 Heures du Mans, quand une voiture Chenard & Walcker s’imposait au général, équipée de pneus et de jantes démontables Michelin. Depuis les succès de Michelin dans la Sarthe se sont multipliés, le pneumaticien français décrochant cette année aux 24 Heures du Mans sa 20e victoire consécutive. Un palmarès inégalé.  En 2012, année de la création du FIA WEC, Championnat du Monde d’Endurance de la FIA, Michelin est également de la partie. Dès le départ.  Le lien qui unit l’ACO à Michelin s’appuie sur un socle de valeurs communes que prône l’endurance : la compétition sportive, l’aventure humaine, le travail en équipe, la constance, la longévité, le dépassement de soi, la stratégie, l’économie mais aussi et surtout la recherche, l’innovation, le transfert de technologies entre la compétition et la série, la route de tout un chacun.  Que ce soit au passé, présent, ou futur, ces notions ont, sont ou seront déclinées ensemble par l’ACO et Michelin. Pour la compétition automobile mais aussi pour le progrès de l’automobile.  Pierre Fillon, Président de l’Automobile Club de l’Ouest : « Le partenariat qui nous unit à Michelin est particulièrement précieux, puisqu’il repose sur une vision commune du sport automobile. Les pneumatiques sont un paramètre essentiel de la compétition, de la stratégie et de la sécurité pour nos concurrents. Grâce à la variété des catégories de notre discipline, qui comporte aussi bien des prototypes que des GTE, la richesse des informations fournies par la compétition est un atout pour le manufacturier français. Pour l’ACO, Michelin est un véritable partenaire technique et nous nous réjouissons de répondre à leurs exigences professionnelles. »  Gérard Neveu, Directeur Général Le Mans Endurance Management (FIA WEC et ELMS) : "Michelin est de longue date un partenaire fidèle du WEC et a grandement contribué au succès de notre compétition. Michelin n'est pas seulement un fournisseur technique qui offre à nos concurrents - aussi bien en prototypes qu'en GTE - la régularité et la performance recherchée par tous dans leur quête de victoires ; c'est aussi un acteur majeur de notre paddock et cela de bien d'autres manières différentes. Il serait difficile d'imaginer le WEC sans Michelin, et nous sommes donc très heureux que la poursuite de notre partenariat nous permette d'aller ensemble de l'avant pour cette nouvelle période très prometteuse pour le WEC."  Pascal Couasnon, Directeur de Michelin Motorsport : « Michelin est ravi de poursuivre son engagement au plus haut niveau de l’Endurance mondiale aux côtés de l’Automobile Club de l’Ouest et de l’organisation du Championnat du Monde d’Endurance - FIA WEC. Les 24 Heures du Mans demeurent l’épreuve sur circuit la plus exigeante du monde et le FIA WEC est actuellement dans une phase de transformation que nous souhaitons accompagner. Nous croyons à la pertinence de l’Endurance comme vecteur d’innovation. Comme partenaire technique, Michelin continuera de contribuer au spectacle avec ses pneumatiques ainsi que de transférer les technologies vers la série, au profit de tous les automobilistes. »

Michelin - Le Mans - Endurance: the story continues!  A long and mutually fruitful collaboration is continuing today with the signature of a new partnership contract for at least three seasons (2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021) between the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the Le Mans 24 Hours, the FIA World Endurance Championship and Michelin.  The adventure began in 1923 at the first Le Mans 24 Hours when a Chenard & Walcker won the race outright equipped with changeable Michelin tyres and rims. Since then the French tyre manufacturer has had success upon success in the Sarthe, and this year Michelin scored its 20th consecutive victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, an unequalled result!   In 2012, when the FIA World Endurance Championship was created, Michelin was also involved right from the start.   The links between the ACO and Michelin are based on the common values that endurance racing promotes: sporting competition, human adventure, team work, consistency, longevity, exceeding one’s limits, strategy, economy and above all research, innovation and technology transfer between racing and series production for the benefit of everyone.   Whether in the past, present or future, these notions were, are and always will be cultivated by the ACO and Michelin in motor racing and also in the realm of automotive advancement in general.   Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest: “The partnership uniting us with Michelin is a particularly precious one as it’s based on a common vision of motor sport.  Tyres are an essential parameter in racing, strategy and safety for our entrants. Thanks to the variety of categories in our branch of motor sport that includes both prototypes and GTs, the richness of the information supplied by racing is a great help to the French manufacturer. For the ACO Michelin is a true technical partner and we’re delighted that we meet their professional demands.”   Gérard Neveu, Le Mans Endurance Management CEO (FIA WEC and ELMS): « Michelin has been a long and loyal partner to the WEC, and has contributed greatly to the success of the championship.  It is not only a technical supplier, offering our competitors – both in prototypes and GTE – the consistency and performance they all seek in order to win world-class races, but also a key player in our paddocks in many other ways.  It would be hard to imagine the WEC without Michelin, and we are delighted that the continuation of this partnership will allow us to move forward together in these very exciting times for the WEC.”    Pascal Cousanon, Michelin Motorsport Manager: “Michelin is delighted to continue its involvement at the topmost level in worldwide endurance racing alongside the Automobile Club de l’Ouest and the organisation of the World Endurance Championship - FIA WEC. The Le Mans 24-Hours race is still the most demanding circuit event in the world and the FIA WEC is currently in a transformation phase that we want to be a part of. We believe in the pertinence of endurance as a vector of innovation. As a technical partner, Michelin will continue to make its contribution to the spectacle with its tyres as well as transferring technology to series production to help motorists everywhere.”

GT FIA World Endurance Drivers Championship down to the wire Seven teams will head to the Bapco 6 Hours of Bahrain with a chance of winning FIA World Endurance Championship LMGTE Pro and AM titles, in what promises to be a thrilling conclusion to the 2017 season.  Firstly, a look at the FIA GT Drivers’ title chase, and the battle for the LMGTE Pro Teams Trophy.  After an action-packed 6 Hours of Shanghai, the battle for the GT FIA World Endurance Drivers Championship remains wide open, with drivers from four cars from three manufacturers still in with a chance.  To read about the battles for the GT Drivers' Championship, which Ferrari's James Calado and Alessandro  Pier Guidi are currently leading by two points, click HERE To see all the latest points' standings click HERE Retrouvez ICI tous les articles de notre site en version française

Aston Martin, Dempsey-Proton or Clearwater Racing in GTE Am? The fight for the LMGTE Am Team and Drivers’ Trophies has been the tightest yet seen with just 11 points separating the top three Teams and 19 points between the top three driver pairings.  A third victory of the season in Shanghai took Aston Martin Racing trio Pedro Lamy, Mathias Lauda and Paul Dalla Lana back to the top of the standings, 10 points clear of the Dempsey-Proton Racing Porsche of Matteo Cairoli, Marvin Dienst and Christian Ried.  From a deficit of one-point heading into the weekend, the No.98 Aston Martin crew turned the title race on its head with a maximum 26-point score, meaning they can wrap up a long-awaited first championship with third place in Bahrain, even if the Porsche wins and takes pole position.  The Clearwater Racing Ferrari 488 GTE of Matt Griffin, Keita Sawa and Weng Sun Mok remains in mathematical contention despite a costly collision with the Jackie Chan DC Racing ORECA of Tristan Gommendy in China. However, they will need their main rivals to strike serious trouble if they are to bring home a fairy-tale title in the Singaporean team’s first season in the WEC.

Aston Martin bids farewell to the Vantage It may be the oldest car in the field, but the Aston Martin Vantage will bow out of the FIA World Endurance Championship at the Bapco 6 Hours of Bahrain as one of the series’ most enduringly successful machines.  Built at Prodrive in Banbury (some 15 miles/24 km from Silverstone), the Vantage GTE can trace its roots back to 2008, but has continued winning in its final year before being replaced by a newer model next season.  Aston Martin Racing celebrated pole in both the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am classes in China, while a third GTE Am victory of the season put Pedro Lamy, Paul Dalla Lana and Mathias Lauda in command of the title race as the final race of the year approaches.

A dominant victory in the penultimate round of the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship for Toyota was not enough to prevent Porsche from winning the World Manufacturers’ Championship today in Shanghai.  Second place for the No.2 Porsche 919 Hybrid crew of Timo Bernhard, Earl Bamber and Brendon Hartley gave them a well-deserved 2017 FIA World Endurance Drivers’ title with one round remaining. It is Bernhard and Hartley’s second championship title (first in 2015) and Bamber’s first.  Toyota’s No.8 TS050 HYBRID of Kazuki Nakajima, Anthony Davidson and Sébastien Buemi led a convincing display by the Japanese manufacturer, although the result could have been very different in terms of the race result and the championship situation had the No.7 Toyota of José Maria Lopez not clashed with one of the leading GTE Pro cars in the final hour.  The result saw the Japanese car forced to pit and the two Porsche 919 Hybrids move up to second and third, while the delayed Toyota ultimately came in fourth. It was Toyota Gazoo Racing’s fourth win of the season meaning that the eight races have been completely split between the Japanese marque and their rivals Porsche, with one round remaining.  Rounding out the podium in Shanghai was the No.1 Porsche 919 Hybrid of Neel Jani, André Lotterer and Nick Tandy. Their race was compromised in the first hour when Tandy slowed with a throttle sensor issue.  It was an ultra-successful day for Porsche as they also took the FIA World Endurance Manufacturers Championship, and as with the Drivers’ title it was also the third consecutive time Porsche has lifted the trophy.  An enthusiastic crowd of 58,000 spectators over the weekend at Shanghai International Circuit saw a memorable event and went home having witnessed an incredible race which was full of action, drama and tension.  For all classifications and timing CLICK HERE Retrouvez ICI tous les articles de notre site en version française

Vaillante Rebellion take epic LMP2 contest  One of the best ever LMP2 races was won by the No.31 Vaillante Rebellion squad in Shanghai as Bruno Senna, Nicolas Prost and Julien Canal triumphed for the third time this season.  In a race of incident and excitement Senna laid the foundations for the win which takes him and Canal to the lead of the championship by four points (Prost having missed a race earlier in the year).  Their chief rivals during the race were the Jackie Chan DC Racing trio of Oliver Jarvis, Ho-Pin Tung and Thomas Laurent. The three-time category winners had seemed to have built a race-winning platform after a stellar double stint from Jarvis, but then a fraught final two hours saw a collision between their No.38 ORECA 07 and the No.26 G-Drive Racing car. Damage to the front of their car meant they eventually finished in fourth position.  Runners-up in Shanghai today were the Signatech Alpine crew of Nicolas Lapierre, Gustavo Menezes and André Negrão. Today’s result keeps Menezes in outside contention for the LMP2 Drivers’ crown.  Making it two Vaillante Rebellion entries in the top three was the No.13 car of Nelson Piquet Jr, David Heinemeier-Hansson and Mathias Beche. They recovered from contact on the opening lap to score their second podium position of the season, with Dane Heinemeier Hansson having a particularly strong race. The final round of the 2017 WEC season is the Bapco 6 Hours of Bahrain which will race into the night on Saturday 18th November.  Provisional classifications can be found HERE and race facts HERE.

Kobayashi and Conway take Shanghai pole for Toyota  Toyota took pole position for the 6 Hours of Shanghai this afternoon as Mike Conway and Kamui Kobayashi combined to head all challengers and secure the No.7 Toyota TS050 HYBRID’s fourth top spot of the season. The average time of 1m42.832s was enough to seal the pole after Kobayashi had set an ultimate best of 1m42.526s.  Joining the No.7 Toyota on the front row for tomorrow’s rolling start will be the No.1 Porsche 919 Hybrid which was driven by Nick Tandy and André Lotterer in qualifying. Tandy set the early pace but the session was slightly compromised when Lotterer had one of his laps deleted after violating track limits at Turn 16.  The No.8 Toyota, which is aiming to stop the No.2 Porsche crew taking the Drivers’ title this weekend, starts third as Sébastien Buemi and Anthony Davidson shared the cockpit in the qualifying session.  Brendon Hartley and Earl Bamber continued their all-Kiwi qualifying attack but ultimately came unstuck as Bamber suffered a mid-session spin. This meant that the leaders of the points classification will start fourth.  For all classifications and timing CLICK HERE Retrouvez ICI tous les articles de notre site en version française

Danes gain pole for Aston Martin  In one of the most important qualifying sessions of the season, due to the crucial extra one point available towards the GT FIA World Endurance Championship, Danish duo Marco Sorensen and Nicki Thiim took their first pole position of the season at Shanghai in their No.95 Aston Martin.  The pair averaged 1m59.697s average, which put them just over two tenths up on the Porsche pair of Michael Christensen and Kevin Estre’s 1m59.916s.  Points standing leaders and winners of the last two FIA World Endurance Championship events, James Calado and Alessandro Pier Guidi of AF Corse Ferrari, placed third as they look to extend their advantage in the penultimate race of the season tomorrow.  The No.67 Ford GT of Harry Tincknell and Andy Priaulx made it four manufacturers in the top four positions.

Vaillante Rebellion's Senna and Canal claim LMP2 pole In LMP2 the Vaillante Rebellion duo of Bruno Senna and Julien Canal took a first category pole of the season for the No.31 car.  Senna set the quickest overall time, but it was Canal’s lap which confirmed the pole as the Frenchman, who is aiming to become a double LMP2 champion this season, drove a faultless final sector to even eclipse Senna’s earlier benchmark.  A fine second place was taken by the G-Drive Racing car, driven by WEC newcomer Nico Muller and recently crowned ELMS champion Léo Roussel.

Lamy and Dalla Lana maintain Aston Martin record at Shanghai! The LMGTE Am pole fell to the No.98 Aston Martin Racing pairing of Pedro Lamy and Paul Dalla Lana. It was the sixth time the pair has taken pole this season and Lamy celebrated a fourth consecutive top spot in as many years at the Chinese track.  The extra point gained by the No.98 ensured that they are now level with the Dempsey Proton Racing drivers going in to tomorrow's race.
