  • Mouser Congratulates Ho-Pin Tung on Historic Win at Le Mans
    US Headquarters 1000 N. Main Street, Mansfield, TX 76063, USA (817) 804-3800 Main www.mouser.com For Immediate Release Mouser Congratulates Ho-Pin Tung on Historic Win at Le Mans June 26, 2017 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest semiconductors and electronic components, congratulates Ho-Pin Tung, who became the first Chinese driver to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Tung, driving the No. 38 car for the Jackie Chan DC race team, placed second overall and first in the LMP2 class at the 85th running of Le Mans earlier this month. Mouser has been a strong supporter of Tung since 2011 as he challenged himself to cross over in various motorsports, including the IndyCar Series and the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia. The global distributor is once again participating in the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship season. Racing is all about speed and endurance, and racing sponsorships are an innovative way for Mouser to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies from its manufacturer partners. The famed 24 Hours of Le Mans, which took place on June 17–18 in Le Mans, France, is the world’s oldest active car endurance race. It was a historic day for actor and stuntman Jackie Chan, who saw both cars in his racing team take the podium. The Jackie Chan DC No. 38 car, piloted by Tung, Oliver Jarvis and 19-year-old Thomas Laurent, wrote a new page in the motorsport history books as first Chinese team to win at Le Mans.

Hugues de Chaunac’s Editorial The upcoming 88th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to be held in September and behind closed doors this year, is shaping up to be a special one for ORECA. Our teams and I are particularly proud to see 20 ORECA 07 chassis entered in the LMP2 class. This record makes us the most represented constructor on the starting grid of the most iconic endurance race in the world! Two Rebellion R-13 are expected in LMP1 as well. The Rebellion Racing team’s stunning victory and double podium finish at the first-ever 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual has inspired us to raise the bar even higher for the actual race. Since 2012, we have made available to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing the breadth of our experience and client services through operational support, and our mechanics and engineers.

    NEWSLETTER TRISTAN GOMMENDY #1 EN PISTE POUR UNE TOURNEE MONDIALE Tristan Gommendy participera en 2017 au Championnat du Monde d'Endurance (WEC) au sein de l'écurie Jackie Chan DC Racing (co-propriété du célèbre acteur chinois de films d'action et de kung-fu) engagée dans la catégorie LM P2. Après quatre brillantes saisons en European Le Mans Series (ELMS), le pilote francilien accède au pinacle des courses d'endurance. Il disputera les neuf manches du calendrier mondial, dont les 24 Heures du Mans comme point d'orgue. Jackie Chan DC Racing a décidé de s'allier aux britanniques de Jota Sport (écurie championne d’Europe en titre et victorieuse des 24 Heures du Mans en 2014) pour aligner deux Oreca 07, respectivement confiées aux deux pilotes Platinium, Tristan Gommendy et Oliver Jarvis (2nd du WEC 2016 avec Audi Sport Team Joest). Le Français partagera l'Oreca n°37 avec l'Anglais Alex Brundle et le Chinois David Cheng. Au volant de l'Oreca n°38, Oliver fera équipe avec le Français Thomas Laurent et le Sino-Néerlandais Ho-Pin Tung. Tristan Gommendy : « Il s'agit incontestablement de l'une des compétitions internationales du sport automobile les plus relevées » « Je suis ravi et enthousiaste de rejoindre l'écurie Jackie Chan DC Racing pour disputer le WEC. Après avoir couru en ELMS au sein de différentes équipes, accéder à la discipline mondiale représente une suite logique ; l'étape ultime à laquelle j'aspirais. Il s'agit incontestablement de l'une des compétitions internationales du sport automobile les plus relevées avec l'engagement de nombreuses écuries officielles et de pilotes professionnels.

  • TOYOTA GAZOO Racing 2017 Drivers March
    TOYOTA GAZOO RACING COMPLETES DRIVER LINE-UP Tuesday 28 March 2017 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing can confirm its full driver line-up for the 2017 season, with Yuji Kunimoto and Nicolas Lapierre joining the team for races at Spa-Francorchamps and Le Mans. Yuji and Nicolas will line-up in the #9 TS050 HYBRID alongside lead driver Stéphane Sarrazin in the second and third races of the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season. Yuji, 26, has a wealth of endurance experience from his eight seasons in Super GT and he wrote headlines last year by beating several world-renowned drivers to win the Super Formula championship. A former Japanese Formula Three champion, Yuji will continue to compete in single-seaters as he defends his Super Formula crown in 2017 alongside another Super GT campaign. Frenchman Nicolas, 32, is returning to a familiar environment, having raced for the team from 2012 to 2014, earning TOYOTA’s first hybrid WEC victories. Since then, he has established himself as a leading LMP2 driver, having twice won the class at Le Mans whilst winning the WEC drivers’ title in 2016. Today’s announcement completes the full TOYOTA GAZOO Racing line-up for 2017, following January’s confirmation that the #7 car will be driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López, while Sébastien Buemi, Anthony Davidson and Kazuki Nakajima will compete in the #8. Toshio Sato, Team President : “I am very pleased to welcome Nicolas and Yuji into our driver line-up for the races at Spa and Le Mans. I am confident that, together with a driver of Stéphane’s abilities, we have a strong line-up in the #9.
