Horag Racing to Compete in LMS in 2007

Horag Racing owner Markus Hotz is pleased to announce that his team will again field a Lola Judd in the LMP2 class of the Le Mans Series (LMS) this year. Its drivers will be veterans Fredy Lienhard of Niederteufen, Switzerland; Belgium native Didier Theys of Scottsdale, Ariz.; and Eric van de Poele of Sart-Risbart, Belgium. The car is the team's Lola R05/40 updated to the 2007 specifications. It is sponsored by Lista, the worldwide leader in modular storage units, and Lista Office LO, a state-of-the-art office furniture products company. It uses Michelin tires. At this time the team plans to do at least the first five of the six LMS events, which are all in Europe. It will add the season finale in Brazil if additional sponsorship is obtained. All are 1,000-kilometer events that take about six hours to complete. In addition to the European LMS races, the team has also entered the 2007 American Le Mans Series season opener, the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, next month in Sebring, Fla. It may compete in that series' season finale, the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Ga., too.
