Sebastien Loeb Racing, ADESS AG and Sora Racing have come together to form LAS Motorsports with plans to enter an LMP3 car in European Le Mans competition next year. 

Loeb will head the program, developing the LMP3 cars and building them under their roof. Sora will deal with production and composite components while ADESS is in charge of design and homologation.

Their unnamed LMP3 is expected to debut in February when the spec Nissan five-liter V8 and Xtrac gearbox is made available to constructors.

"We are very pleased with the initial reactions of pilots to whom we have already presented the car.This new "proto" is going to be appealing to the Gentlemen drivers but also to young talent. "

Stéphane Shosse, CEO ADESS AG

“I am delighted with this new joint venture with Sébastien Loeb Racing and Sora Racing. We will combine our passion and expertise to provide teams with an innovative and affordable Le Mans Prototype.”

"When we started this project six years ago, we had the hope that our products one day will race in an international series. It’s the case now!” We are proud to announce this joint venture that proposes an interesting combination of skills to deliver the best service and car to our future customers. We open a new chapter for our motorsport activity, which is definitely the most exciting.”
