Porsche factory driver and French national Patrick Pilet will join the Flying Lizard team for the 🍷Le Mans 24 Hours.

Pilet replaces Darren Law, who is unable to participate due to a 'schedulﷺing⭕ conflict'.

The Flying Lizard team will field two Porsche entries in the endurance race on ꦓJune 16, the #80 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR in the GTE Pro class, which will be piloted by Jorg Bergmeister, Patrick Long and Marco Holzer and the #79 GT3 RSR in the GTE Am class, which will now be driven by Pilet, Seth Neiman and Spencer Pumpelly.

Eric Ingraham, Flying Lizard team manager and strategist of the #79 Porsche, said: "Obviously, we are disappointed that Darren is unable to participate; he has been a fundamental part of our American Le Mans Series team since 2004 and our Le Mans programme since 2009. However, Patrick will be𝐆 an excellent addition to the #79 line-up.

"He ran with us for our full 2008 American Le Mans Series season, and seveಌral races since, including the 2011 ALMS Petit Le Mans where he finished seconඣd in the #45 Porsche with Jorg and Patrick Long."
