This is the sixth in a 24 Hours of Le Mans preview series. Check back to michelinracingusa.com for more features and posts in the coming days.
One of the ALMS’ most successful teams, Flying Lizard Motorsports has never won at Le Mans as they prepare for the 24 Hours for their seventh consecutive year.
The Porsche team has won the last two ALMS GT2 class championships and also the last two ALMS races this season, so they enter Le Mans on a hot streak.

Flying Lizard’s No. 80 Porsche has the same lineup as last year, with Joerg Bergmeister, Darren Law and team co-owner Seth Neiman behind the wheel. Bergmeister captured the pole position in the GT2 class for last year’s Le Mans but the team retired in the 15th hour after an accident overnight.
Bergmeister’s regular ALMS co-driver Patrick Long is racing for a European Porsche team at Le Mans for the fourth consecutive season. This is Law’s second Le Mans after making his debut last year.
The Lizards are one of five Porsche 911 GT3 RSRs in the GT2 class, but the only one entered by an American team.
