RAM Racing has entered a Mercedes-AMG GT3 into the Michelin Le Mans Cup, a six-round championship that sits on the European Le Mans Series calendar and has a 24 Hours of Le Mans support race as its centre-piece.
It’s a return to the ACO-run paddock for RAM Racing which, as well as winning the 2013 European Le Mans Series – Officiel, also entered the FIA WEC and 24 Heures du Mans in 2014.
“We have great memories of the ELMS paddock and it’s good to be back,” RAM Racing’s Team Principal Dan Shufflebottom commented. “Since leaving the paddock we have had some incredible endurance racing results including a 24 Hours of Paul Ricard win, which should stand us in good stead for the Le Castellet round.
“After some testing, we are feeling confident about this season in the Michelin Le Mans Cup. Although there is some good competition driver-wise, we are a race-winning team that understands the importance of preparation – our crew prides itself on being meticulous. We also have a driver pairing that we think will challenge for race wins.”
Regular driver Tom Onslow-Cole, who has taken six endurance race podiums with the team, will once again join the Silverstone-based outfit and he will be joined by Remon Vos (NL).
Ahead of the start of the Michelin Le Mans Cup season, the team will contest the 12 Hours of Italy, in which it took second place in 2015. Onslow-Cole and Vos will be joined by Dutch driver Kevin Veltman, for the once-around-the-clock race that takes place at Mugello Circuit in Tuscany.
