The Swiss squad, led by Benoit Morand, has revealed intentions of stepping up from the European Le Mans Series, where it currently fields a Morgan-Judd LMP2 car.

“We are clearly working to be in the FIA WEC next season,” Morand told Endurance-Info. “The final decision on our 2015 program will be taken shortly.”

Morand heads into this weekend’s ELMS season finale at Estoril still with a mathematical shot of the championship, with Christian Klien, Pierre Ragues and Gary Hirsch fresh off victory in the last round at Paul Ricard.

“We may have been leading the championship if we didn’t lose the points in Imola,” Morand said. “However, we have to put everything into perspective… It’s clear we will do everything to win this final race of the year.”

While having a lower-than-expected car count this year, the LMP2 class could see as many ten entries in 2015, with the likely additions of Morand, a second entry for KCMG, as well as possible full-season efforts for both Extreme Speed Motorsports and Project Brabham.
