Road Atlanta, Braselton, Georgia – The Nissan-powered ESM team enters this weekend’s Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta aiming to finish the 2017 IMSA season on a high note.
The ESM team will again bring in Brendon Hartley (No. 2 with Scott Sharp and Ryan Dalziel) and Bruno Senna (No. 22 with Pipo Derani and Johannes van Overbeek) for the final endurance race of the year – a 10-hour battle at the outstanding Road Atlanta circuit.
“I am really excited to be coming back to Road Atlanta. It’s definitely one of the most challenging and nicest tracks in our entire IMSA season,” Derani said.
“Just like Sebring, this race brings another challenge of starting early in the morning and finishing at night. It’s really difficult to find a compromise on the setup, to have a quick car during the day but also at night during the final stages of the race.
“Hopefully we will roll out of the truck with a car that’s already quick, so that we can start working on fine-tuning the car for the race.”
