The wait is over! After a long summer break in the ELMS calendar Greaves Motorsport Secured by Kairos Technologies are ready to get back to business.

Following a hard earned 4th in the Red Bull ring after a couple of unfortunate penalties during the race, Jon and his team mates Bjorn and Gary are looking to get back on the front foot at a circuit where Jon set the fastest time in pre-season testing. With just 10 points covering the top 3 teams every place will count over the remaining 2 races and with the work put in over the break by the team, Jon is hopeful of a return to the Silverstone form that took them to pole position and that emphatic race win.

“The summer break has been a long one, but nevertheless a busy one for us. I have been keeping sharp doing some karting and I have really been pushing my fitness levels to make sure I am 100% ready to take these last 2 races by the scruff, and fight for this championship. I think we have had a few bits of bad luck since Silverstone, and hopefully now we are past that and we can have smooth, fast sailing from now on. With just 10 points covering the top 3 teams, it’s going to be an epic battle that will no doubt go down to the wire. Having been quickest at pre-season testing at Le Castellet I think we can arrive with some confidence of a strong weekend ahead.”

The track is characterised by its long Mistral straight (1.8 km) and elongated track design. The track is also unusual in that it is built on a plateau, and is very flat. The length of the full track is around 3.610 miles (5.8 km). In 1986 the track was modified to shorten the circuit. This shorter circuit is known as the GP short circuit and is 2.369 miles (3.8 km) long. The track offers 167 possible configurations from 826 to 5,861 metres. Its flexibility and mild winter weather mean that it is used for testing by several motorsport teams, including Formula One teams.
