Simpson in Le Mans series


The Le Mans Series International racing team, Creation Autosportif, has signed up 24-year-old Capetonian racing driver, Stephen Simpson, to race for them at the upcoming Le Mans events in Germany, the UK and the States.

Simpson put in a spirited performance in his first drive for Creation Aim at the Nurburgring 1000kms Le Mans Series race. Together with co-driver Liz Halliday he brought the car home 10th in the LMP1 class after dropping as low as 42nd due to two unscheduled pitstops during the first two hours!
