In Dordogne in southwestern France, Ho-Pin Tung, Oliver Jarvis and Thomas Laurent, winners in LMP2 at the opening round of the World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) at Silverstone with the #38 Oreca 07, and their teammates Alex Brundle, David Cheng and Tristan Gommendy in the #37 sister car, gathered for a week of preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, third race on the championship calendar.
On the program: sports, a lot of sports, both indoors (i.e. weightlifting) and out (i.e. biking and kayaking). Alex Brundle (the son of Martin, winner at Le Mans in 1990 with Jaguar) has even gotten a bit of a tan. The Chinese team is leaving nothing to chance in its quest to secure a class win at the 24 Hours. As much in endurance racing as anything else, team spirit is crucial.
