The European season is getting very close now and testing is ramping up rapidly for the teams fielding new machinery for the coming year.

United Autosports have been testing their newly liveried Ligier JS P217 at paul Ricard ahead of the ELMS Prologue at Monza later this month.

IDEC Sport were at Paul Ricard last week with their new Ligier, now also fully liveried.

Meanwhile at Motorland Aragon a major Dunlop test is getting underway with a number of LMP2 teams present including the Jackie Chan DC Racing squad with their Oreca 07s. More from that test later this week.

Over at the Geneva Motor Show meanwhile Rebellion Racing are displaying their new Vaillante livery on one of the 2016 R-Ones (the team has now taken delivery of both their 2017 ORECA 07 cars).
