Realteam Racing announces its 2020 sports program with the European Le Mans Series

After a 2019 season that marked the start of Realteam Racing in LMP3, the Swiss structure intends to make a place at the top of the category and renews its commitment in the European Le Mans Series for 2020.

Associated with the GRAFF team on a NORMA M30 LMP3, 2019 was a learning year for Realteam Racing in endurance. For its second season, the Swiss team wanted to hire the experienced structure of Xavier Combet and Jacques Morello, TDS Racing.

With a very high level of competition on the board, the 2020 season will be the year of confirmation in LMP3 for Realteam Racing. With the desire to consolidate their achievements, the team wanted to continue with their driver duo Esteban Garcia and David Droux. Another major change, the team has chosen to change its NORMA M30 for the new Ligier JS P320.

The team has acquired considerable experience by participating in both the European Le Mans Series and the Ultimate Cup Series. With 14 participations to its credit in 2019, a victory and several podiums, the team will be engaged for a full season in the European Le Mans Series and will also be present at the Road to Le Mans at the opening of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2020.

********************

“After a 2019 season that has allowed us to get our bearings, we hope to take a new step. We have found our place in the European Le Mans Series. Ambitions are being revised upwards with the desire to do better and the idea is clearly to make further progress before thinking of LMP2, which is our objective for 2021. The main objective behind this move into the higher category is Le Mans which, for any driver, is the grail. The LMP3 category is the gateway and we will participate this year in Road to Le Mans, which will allow us to get to know this great circuit.”

Esteban Garcia – Realteam Racing Driver and Owner

“I am very happy to continue with Realteam Racing. This is a long-term project with the 24 Hours as the ultimate goal and I am happy to be able to continue this collaboration with the team. I hope that all the things we have put in place this winter, with Esteban in particular, will allow us to progress and aim for the best possible result this season in the European Le Mans Series.”

David Droux – Realteam Racing Driver
