“It will be good to get to know Christian before we race at Le Mans, ” Liz said. “He has driven sports cars before and has raced at both the Le Mans and Daytona 24 Hours, so he has that crucial endurance experience. Having two such well-qualified drivers alongside me can only be of help to the team. ”
Meanwhile, Team Modena’s chief engineer Hans Muehlbauer explained some of the technical challenges of Valencia and backed Liz to continue her progress. “Valencia is a very technical circuit with a lot of slow speed corners so set-up is completely different from Monza. It’s a tricky circuit, very narrow and undulating and it will be challenging in traffic because overtaking opportunities are scarce. The LMP1 and LMP2 cars will have to be patient behind the GT cars in certain corners because there is only one line. However, Liz has raced in the American Le Mans Series, where they also have small, narrow circuits and plenty of different cars on the grid, so I don’t think this will be a problem for her. ”
