The OAK Racing Ligier JS P3s to wear Ingenico Group livery

Three weeks before the start of the season at the official test session for the European Le Mans Series on the Paul Ricard circuit on 22-23 March, OAK Racing is pleased to unveil the 2016 livery of its nos 4 and 24 Ligier JS P3s in the colors of the Ingenico Group.

The two OAK Racing sports prototypes will fly the colors of the Ingenico Group, world leader in the field of integrated payment systems, and the team's official partner in the 2016 ELMS. Thus, OAK Racing's traditional black and pink livery will be replaced by a brand-new design in the Ingenico Group's colors.

Marcassus Sport, the Sarthe department and the Francois Vaultier & Co Group, OAK Racing's faithful partners, have renewed their involvement with the team.

In addition, OAK Racing and its drivers Erik Maris, Jean-Marc Merlin, Jacques and Pierre Nicolet can count on the support of numerous technical and financial partners who are backing them in this adventure.

As was the case in the 2015 Le Mans 24 Hours the OAK Racing drivers are both proud and pleased to carry the colors of the Mecenat Chirurgie Cardiaque again, the association which helps children from all over the world suffering from heart malformations.

Jacques Nicolet, OAK Racing President: "In motor sport it's essential to have the presence and support of partners. Our wish is to share with them core values that are common to both endurance and companies in an environment in which conviviality and expertise, passion and performance combine. We're delighted to welcome alongside our faithful partners, the Ingenico Group which embodies the same values, competences and technologies.
"The ELMS races on exceptional circuits with a particularly strong field provide the ideal context in which to kick off such a partnership."

Philippe Lazare, Chairman and CEO of Ingenico Group: "We share numerous values with OAK Racing: an entrepreneurial passion, the will to succeed, team work, matching competences, reliability and performance of our products. By backing OAK Racing throughout the 2016 ELMS, our aim, above all, is to encourage a team devoted to developing the best technologies at the service of excellence."
