“Pechito” López confirms that he will be in the 24 hours of Daytona

“I had wanted to face something like this for a long time in the United States and I will be able to do it with the team that was champion,” said the native of Río Tercero, in a report granted to the “Campeones” program (Radio Continental AM 590).

“We just need to wait for confirmation but everything is signed,” said López, who highlighted his preferences for North American motorsport: “It is much more relaxed and much more relaxed,” he described.

The Cordovan driver will take part in this race that will take place on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 January at Daytona International Speedway, together with the Japanese Kamui Kobayashi (his teammate in the WEC) and the Americans Jimmie Johnson (seven times champion in the divisional Nascar Cup Series) and Mike Rockenfeller.

López also took stock of his season and described the victory achieved at Le Mans as “the most important of my career”.

“It happened at the right time. It was always my dream to win at Le Mans. One understands over the years why everyone classifies it as the most important race in the world, “he said.

“It has its mystique, the 13 kilometers, the long straights, the changes in temperature, all that added to the traffic. It is as they say, that a little Le Mans chooses you. There are things that happen unexpectedly and you cannot relax for a second ”, assured“ Pechito ”.
