The 2024/ 2025 Asian Le Mans series concluded in the United Arab Emirates with rounds 3 and 4 at the Dubai Autodrome and rounds 5 and 6 at Yas Marina circuit, Abu Dhabi.
The teams objective of giving young and novice drivers experience and track time in a competitive environment was successful and resulted in a podium finish for #34, piloted by Tim Creswick, Douwe Dedecker and Daniel Ali.

There were several positives to take from the event. Mikkel Kristensen, the 16-year-old embarking on his first international competition, continued to grow and showed increasing speed as the events unfolded.

Running towards the front of the LMP3 pack in the bronze sessions, car #34 Tim Creswick demonstrated consistency and speed resulting in his first international LMP3 podium visit.

Car #43, Steve Brookes brought immense enthusiasm to the team and quickly adapted to the LMP3 after his challenges at the opening round in Sepang, finishing on a high with strong performances ably assisted by young French driver Kevin Rabin.

Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring
The 2025 WeatherTech IMSA championship returns to action on the 15th March with the Mobil 1 12 hours of Sebring following the conclusion of the Rolex 24 hours of Daytona last.

Following the disappointment of a DNF in Daytona, the team is focused on returning to their winning ways in defence of their 2024 championship-winning season. With a revised driver lineup, Jeremy Clarke will be stepping in for Jon Field, who is sidelined due to a medical issue. This will mark Jeremy’s debut in the IMSA series, having completed the Asian Le Mans in LMP2 where the former Ferrari Challenge racer impressed on his LMP2 debut.

All at Inter Europol Competition wish Jon a full and speedy recovery.

The team have already been testing at the Florida venue in February and are looking to improve on last year’s 6th place finish.

Introducing Nick Yelloly, 

Inter Europol Competition will welcome Nick Yelloly to the team for the upcoming European Le Mans season and Le Mans 24 hours, partnering with Tom Dillmann and Kuba Smiechowski in what looks to be a strong contender for the overall championship.

We caught up with Nick ahead of the first test which takes place at Paul Ricard this weekend.

Q) This will be your first outing in the European Le Mans, what are your thoughts on the championship?

“This will be my first full season in the ELMS Championship. Last year, I participated in the last three rounds, and I found it to be a great experience. I believe the competition gets stronger each year, featuring fantastic drivers and teams. I am really looking forward to the upcoming season.”

Q) Last year you competed on the same grid as Inter Europol Competition in the IMSA championship racing a Hypercar, how do you compare the LMP2 and the Hypercar?

“The Hypercars are primarily manufacturer-based and feature hybrid technology, making them quite complex, especially from within the cockpit. In contrast, LMP2 cars are lighter, quicker through corners, and more efficient on the breaks, while Hypercars excel in straight-line speed.”

“The simplicity of the LMP2 cars leads to close and competitive racing throughout the grid.”

Q)As you are an Aston Martin Formula 1 development and simulator driver, you’ve had the privilege of driving the current Formula 1 machinery, what differs between top level single seater and top level prototype? 

“There isn’t a significant difference in how you drive both cars, but the Formula One car is considerably faster, typically completing laps 15-20 seconds quicker.
In a sports car, drivers must adapt their driving style throughout the stints as you are not changing tyres and the fuel loads remain heavy throughout the race. This requires a different approach to maximise performance in both cars. In contrast, the Formula One car demands a smooth and precise driving style, with high commitment through high-speed due to its exceptional grip.”

Q) What races are you most looking forward to this year returning to European tracks that you last competed on in single seaters as a developing young driver? 

“I am looking forward to Silverstone, as I have not raced there for a long time now, I also look forward to Le Mans and Imola, there is nothing better than driving an LMP2 car around spa.”
