Preview: ELMS 4 Hours of Le Castellet - The Checkered Flag
Gibson customer Jota Sport heads into the race leading the championship standings after a commanding victory at the Red Bull Ring in July, although the Thiriet by TDS Racing Oreca 05, which lies just two points adrift of the British outfit, is... GP2 star Berthon is missing his open wheel race at Monza this weekend to be with his ELMS team-mates, and he should prove to be a valuable asset yet again after setting the pace at the pre-season Paul Ricard test for the second year in a row. SMP Racing, or rather, AF Racing, will likely challenge for a podium and will be the closest thing to an Oreca in the speed traps. The Scottish duo lead the standings by 12 points from the University of Bolton entry (which is not taking part this weekend), with the #2 Team LNT Ginetta a further seven points adrift. GT Academy winner Gaetan Paletou will be rejoined by Michael Simpson in the #2 car after Simpson missed the Red Bull Ring round due to a British GT clash. Source: www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk
