The Automobile Club de l'Ouest has today announced the withdrawal of the #22 Rollcentre Racing Radical SR9 from the Le Mans 24 Hours entry list. The team had entered their 2006 Radical in the LMP2 class, alongside their Pescarolo-Judd in LMP1. The car has now been sold to Le Mans Series full season entrant Embassy Racing and has therefore been withdrawn from the Le Mans 24 Hours. As the first reserve car on the ACO list PSI Experience will now be invited to the test day on June 3rd.
Rollcentre Racing can now focus on running their Pescarolo instead of taking care of two cars. With the Pescarolo of Phil Keen, Stuart Hall and Joao Barbosa running almost as fast as the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP at last month's Le Mans Series test at the Paul Ricard HTTT track the decision to focus on one car was an easy one.
The vacant spot on the entry list will be taken up by the first car on the reserve list, the GT1 Corvette C6.R of PSI Experience. With the invitation for the Belgian Corvette the number of Corvettes racing at Le Mans will increase to five, as opposed to six Aston Martin DBR9's. The PSI Experience Corvette will be driven by French drivers Claude-Yves Gosselin and David Hallyday to be partnered by another, yet unknown, driver.
