Sarthe Objectif 24 has announced it has joined forces with Graff to field an entry in next year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans with Vincent Capillaire the first confirmed driver.

The entry, which will run under the GRAFF – SO24 banner, will be an Oreca 07 Gibson with SO24 regular Capillaire behind the wheel.

“I am really happy to wear the SO24 colors with Graff,” commented Capillaire. “A big thank you for the trust that you have in me.

“We have the same sporting objectives. I cannot wait to start, and to fight with one of the most beautiful French teams and to [proudly wear] the SO24 colors during the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans.”

Capillaire and the SO24 name competed at Le Mans this year with a Ligier JS P217 Gibson run by Algarve Pro Racing.
