FRANCK MAILLEUX ENJOYS PRE-RACE DRIVERS’ PARADE WITH MORAND RACING TEAM-MATES
Franck Mailleux has spent the day off from track action at Le Mans to continue his pre-race preparations with Morand Racing but he has also joined his team-mates Natacha Gachnang and Olivier Lombard for the traditional drivers’ parade in town.
The event, which sees all teams and drivers embark on a promotional tour through downtown Le Mans, is one of the best opportunities for Le Mans fans to get close to their heroes ahead of the legendary Le Mans race, which celebrates its 90th anniversary tomorrow.
For Franck, the drivers’ parade is one of the highlights of the Le Mans week and even after four previous participations, the feelings of excitement still remain on the eve of such a special event. Franck and Morand Racing will start tomorrow’s race from fourth in LMP2 after solid qualifying practice sessions in tricky track conditions.
Franck said: “Friday is always a day of final preparations for teams and drivers but it also marks one of the best moments of the week as we join the famous drivers’ parade. It is amazing to get so close to the fans as we parade through the town to celebrate the commencement of the main event, the 24 Hours race which starts tomorrow afternoon. The passion these fans show is unprecedented and is one of the main things that spur us drivers on over a gruelling 24 Hours. We look forward to similar support throughout the race and, personally, I hope to translate our fourth place on the LMP2 grid into a podium result by Sunday afternoon.”
