DragonSpeed Return To ELMS
DragonSpeed have confirmed that their 2023 sportscar racing efforts will focus on the European Le Mans Series, a return to the series for the full season for the first time since 2019, the team completing part seasons in both 2020 and 2021 with a full IMSA campaign in 2022.
In a social media post from the team they explained that they were continuing their quest to compete where the LMP2 cars were the fastest, a reference to the power boost that the class will get in the ELMS in 2023 as WEC and IMSA run their cars with lower power outputs in 2023.
DragonSpeed became the first ( and only) ELMS team to take an overall race win in the Gibson-powered era with a Bronze-rated driver on their squad in 2019 at Le Castellet (Henrik Hedman – who also took a win in the older formula in 2016) and also have an ELMS title to their name with the 2017 Championship taken by the #22 Oreca, badged for G-Drive racing, but run by DragonSpeed, the car featuring current FIA WEC World Drivers Champion Ryo Hirakawa amongst its drivers.
DragonSpeed is also unique in LMP2 having taken race wins in the ELMS, IMSA and FIA WEC.
