"Last year our objective was just to finish and that has to be our main objective this year as well," said Neiman. "Of course, we can't help but think about moving up a step or two on the podium, but Le Mans is a race that rewards consistent focus on the basics, flawless execution, and finally, a bit of racing luck. These have been the key to our season so far, so we'll do our best to cover the first two, and hope the third comes our way when it counts."
Long, a new addition to the team recently enjoyed a great battle with the Flying Lizard car in the battle for GT2 honours at Mid-Ohio and is no stranger to his new environment.
"They are happy about having me driving with them and I am very happy to be with them, the team does a great job," said Long. "They have been strong in the endurance races and they made a strong debut at Le Mans last year. I think it was an obvious choice and I am looking forward to it."
