ALMS - DRAYSON RACING DEBUTING PROTOTYPE EFFORT IN U.S.




The international stature and prominence of the 12th annual Petit Le Mans powered by MAZDA6 grew even more Tuesday with the announcement that Drayson Racing will debut a new Judd-powered Lola B09/60 coupe in the American Le Mans Series cornerstone event. Team owners Lord Paul Drayson and Lady Elspeth Drayson unveiled the team’s plan to move to the pinnacle of motorsports – the LMP1 class.

Paul Drayson, Minister of Science and Innovation for the United Kingdom, and full-season teammate Jonny Cocker will race the closed-top prototype in the 1,000-mile/10-hour endurance classic. They will be joined by two-time Le Mans Series GT2 champion Rob Bell on the Dale White-managed team. The car also will contest the Series’ season finale – the Monterey Sports Car Championships at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
