Dempsey Special Starts Wednesday August 28
Actor Patrick Dempsey’s fans are looking forward to the first episode of Dempsey’s ‘Road to Le Mans’ documentary that will air on Wednesday, August 28th at 10:00 pm (EDT) on the Velocity Channel (Discover Channel group).
Dempsey produced the four one-hour episode documentary chronicling the Dempsey Del-Piero-Proton’s journey to race at the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans. The documentary includes the team’s preparation for Le Mans, including sponsor acquisitions, training and time trials and the actual race.
Dempsey Del Piero Racing was the only team at Le Mans in 2013 with an all-American driver line-up which included Dempsey, Joe Foster and Porsche factory driver Patrick Long.
The team qualified their #77 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR seventh in the GTE-AM class and just missed the podium finishing fourth in the grueling 24 hour race after leading and fighting for the podium throughout the race.
The Dempsey Del Piero Racing team had to shift gears, manufacturers, cars, engines and classes along the way to Le Mans due to the ever changing international motorsports landscape. Through the team’s ups and downs and alterations, Michelin was a consistent and key technical partner.
