Jordan Tresson: The Speed to Succeed

BAHRAIN - After the disappointment of Brazil, Jordan Tresson is hoping for a change of fortune this time out. It's another new track for the Frenchman but he is confident that he and the Signatech Nissan team have what it takes to succeed in Bahrain.

"It would be great if the luck was finally on our side this time," said Jordan. "We hoped it would be in Sao Paulo but I think it is making us wait a little longer. The mood in the team is still good though and we are even more determined to get a great result. We know that we have the speed to succeed and the ability to be competitive.

"Bahrain will be tough on the brakes as it is a bit stop-start with long straights and hairpins," he continued. "I think it will be a good fight between the LMP2 teams as it will be a very level playing field again. I hope we can go out there and get a podium finish this time."

The Six Hours of Bahrain gets the green light this Saturday at 16:00 local time and runs into the darkness. Bahrain is just one hour ahead of CET.
