“I wouldn’t say we expect problems, but we know Le Mans is throwing everything at you. We had some issues in a few WEC races, but hopefully we get over them and they don’t happen again. You can’t really go into the race thinking you’re going to have some trouble. We are optimistic, we all did a good job, but we are always ready if something happens, we have all the procedures defined. “
You mentioned that overtaking other cars will be more difficult. The pace of LMP2 is closer to LMH cars than it was to LMP1s. Is LMP2 a bigger story this year in terms of overall image?
“If one of the LMH cars or the Alpine has problems… We’re not much faster than them anymore, so pulling a lap for them will take a long time. If you have to go into the pitbox, you lose a lap pretty quickly. We know the LMP2s are very reliable, just like the Alpine. So we can’t rule out anyone.
With this lower rate differential, will traffic be a bigger problem this weekend?
“It’s gonna be harder, yeah. We’ll get out of it pretty quickly with LMP2s, but there are times when we can definitely be slowed down and waste time because we don’t have the boost we had. We must anticipate, as before.
