JDC MotorSports confirm Ligier JS P3 Campaign for IMSA Prototype Challenge

JDC MotorSports have confirmed to DSC that the entry for the opening round of the IMSA Prototype Challenge will include at least two Ligier JS P3 cars entered by them for the full season.

With a third possible entry for Sebring also possible the depth and quality of the LMP3 field looks very encouraging indeed.

JDC’s initial pair of Ligiers will be entered for Joel Janco (who has been a full season IMSA Lites racer since 2013), and JDC co-owner Gerry Kraut, another long-term IMSA Lites racer who also has PC Oreca races on his long cv.

Janco is set to drive the team’s #25 Ligier, Kraut the sister #55 JS P3.

Sebring Test Entry

Both of the full season JDC Ligiers feature on a pre-season test entry for next Thursday and Friday at Sebring (9-10 March).

That entry currently shows 10 expected cars in the LMP3 class, joined by a further nine Elan DP02s in the supporting MPC class (which includes a car entered by JDC for Tazio Ottis).

The LMP3 test entry meanwhile features four of the five chassis originally expected to race. The ANSA Motorsports entry for Matt Dicken currently listed as a Ligier rather than the promised Adess.

2016 KPAX McLaren driver Colin Thompson appears on the test entry board the brand new Kelly Moss Norma M30.

Naj Hussain is listed in the Tequila Patron ESM Ligier.

Just one Ave Riley of the pair reported by Tony Ave to be due to race is listed for the test, Ave Engineering enter the #44 AR-2 for long-time Trans-Am racer Paul Fix.
