G-Drive Racing by SIGNATECH-NISSAN will be in action this weekend at the International Shanghai Circuit, for the final round of the 2012 FIA WORLD ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP.
After some fine performances this season4th in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a podium at Silverstone, and the LMP2 fastest lap at Fuji - Nelson Panciatici, Pierre Ragues and Roman Rusinov hope to make their mark again here, in the worlds largest megapolis, for the final event of the season.
Philippe Sinault : " As well as the good performances from Pierre Ragues and Roman Rusinov, we saved the situation in Fuji thanks to the LMP2 lap record set by Nelson Panciatici. We had the speed, but that has not always been synonymous with results, even if we shone at Le Mans and Silverstone. The most frustrating thing is that last year, at this time, we were celebrating our ILMC LMP2 title !
The 2012 season has been very difficult, as, we should not forget, the LMP2 category has the most competition, with up to 15 cars starting some events. The homogeneous crew of the nr 26 ORECA 03-NISSAN, Rusinov, Ragues and Panciatici, allowed us to shine and to frequently be at the front, most notably at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Silverstone and Fuji. We hope to claim a win by Sunday evening. We have to make our mark, and to finish the season on a good note for our partners G-Drive, Nissan, Dunlop, Playstation, Groupauto and Ralf Tech.
