Magnussen ready for GT “Battle Royale”
Magnussen ready for GT “Battle Royale”
Danish star Jan Magnussen enters the new American Le Mans Series season ready for battle with a new teammate and a newly-revised Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1.
The Corvette fan favorite who won the American Le Mans Series most-popular driver award last season knows he will need every weapon he has at his disposal with a four-way fight looming between four supercar brands – Chevrolet Corvette vs BMW vs Porsche vs Ferrari.
“At the moment it’s hard to pick a clear favorite because it looks so evenly matched,” Magnussen said.
“Last season, the BMWs were very strong and especially at the first part of the year. At the end of last season, the Ferraris were really fast. At this point I think that everyone’s probably caught up a little bit, so I think the GT class will be about evenly matched up.
“Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the cars would be really close at Sebring qualifying on Friday. It’s going to be quite a fight.”
Magnussen has done more than “make his mark” in the ALMS over the years – he has made history in the championship as the only driver to win at least one race in every season of the series.
