Porsche celebrates the return to LMP1 class of the World Championship for Endurance Races this year. And the best way to celebrate the occasion is to hold the Le Mans 24 Hour opening race as Porsche Carrera Cup France stage.

Tsunami RT team was thinking for a long time which present to prepare for the festive race of the favorite brand. And we decided to make a present of... Kevin Estre to Porsche Cup in Le Mans! The friend of our team, factory pilot of GT series of McLaren, Kevin Estre, undoubtedly will become the real garnish of the bright race with the car under the starting number 13 with the Ukrainian flag on the roof!

Kevin Estre: "I did one race on the "Le Mans 24h track", it was the Carrera Cup France of 2010. I finished P2. It was in this way: the whole field started on wet tires and the track dried out after one lap to a complete dry condition. And 1 driver made the decision to start on slick so he won the race with 1 minute gap from all the peloton. So I finished 1st of the wet tires."

60 participants of Le Mans stage will come into their possession the double Carting Champion of France, Champion of France in Formula Campus, Carrera Cup junior champion, Carrera Cup France junior champion and in absolute classification, vice-champion of Porsche Supercup, Porsche Carrera Cup Germany champion, all in one! The car with Tsunami RT colors will be on the start and you are welcome to compete, you have no such a chance every day!

This Porsche Carrera Cup France stage in Le Mans is not quite usual: the participants won't get series qualification points. But this won't be the exhibition performance at all: the fight on the track will be hard and spectacular.

Qualification rounds will be held on Thursday, June 12, and on Saturday 61 Porsche (25 participants of France Cup plus the Tsunami RT surprise, 25 participants of Britain Cup and two more cars representing the Italian series and 8 — the other countries) will hold the 45-minute race before the start of the deservedly famous marathon: Porsche has the most victories in Le Mans in overall classification on its account – 16 victories, 7 consequent, from 1981 to 1987.

What is Le Mans 24 Hour? This is not just a legend. This is a basis, one of the cornerstones in the history of motor sports, established in 1923! Even the traditional champagne shower also took place here during the prize-giving when Dan Gurney poured out his prize champagne on Henry Ford-junior. The tradition won't be broken even this time, and Tsunami RT will make it's contribution in the most outrageous and maybe the most rememberable race of 2014 season.

Kevin Estre: "I'm really happy to do the race for Tsunami RT because it's quite a young team with already high performance level. I appreciate Alexander a lot and I'm really proud to be a driver of the team after being his coach."
