Pierre Kaffer will join CRS Racing’s Le Mans Series line-up after signing up to run alongside Pierre Ehret and Phil Quaife. The German driver will join the team for the first two Le Mans races of the season: Paul Ricard and Spa.

Kaffer is one of Germany’s top sportscar drivers and knows the Ferrari 430 especially well. He is looking forward to racing with CRS.

“I have heard lots of positive things about CRS and I have known Andrew (Kirkaldy) for a long time,” Kaffer said. “It will be good to drive with Pierre (Ehret) again as we fit well together and I know we will have a lot of fun. From the outside the package looks good. Even though the entry list is very strong in GT2 this year I am confident we can have some good results.”

“It’s great for us to have Pierre driving with us,” said CRS Team Director, Andrew Kirkaldy. “GT2 is looking very competitive this year so we are pleased to have two very strong line-ups for CRS Racing’s first season in the Le Mans Series.”

Pierre will join CRS Racing for the official Le Mans Series Test at Paul Ricard HTTT on March 7-8.
