Newsletter n°01/2013 – 25 January 2013, Spa 24 Hours Pro Am entry presentation French foursome gunning for Spa 24 Hours Pro Am class victory Just before Christmas Hexis Racing announced the three drivers who will defend its colours in the five rounds of the Blancpain Endurance Series in 2013. Alvaro Parente, Stef Dusseldorp and Alexander Sims will be gunning for outright victory and the Pro-Cup title, the top category in the championship. The team also announced that it would enter a second McLaren MP4-12C GT3 in the Spa 24 Hours, the Blancpain’s blue riband event, to win the Pro-Am category. Its crew will combine the brilliance of platinum, the purity of gold, the flash of silver and the robustness of bronze! By putting together a line- up consisting of Olivier Panis, Côme Ledogar, Laurent Cazenave and Eric Debard, Hexis Racing team manager, Philippe Dumas, has created an ideal alloy between the different grades of drivers among the combinations allowed by the category regulations. In long-distance events in the Blancpain Endurance Series, the Pro-Am category is the one with the highest number of starters. In the 2012 Spa 24 Hours it attracted 39 cars or almost 60% of the total number of entries. The skills of the drivers are one of the most important factors to guarantee success, and this is why Dumas is particularly happy to be able to count on such a well-balanced second line- up. “As it’s a long race the main aim is to finish. But the four drivers are among the best in their respective grades so we can aim for victory in Pro-Am and score a good result in the overall classification.
