The career of Patrick Lindsey, one of the Project1 Porsche RSR drivers, will hit a high point on the weekend of 16/17 June 2018 when he climbs into the cockpit of the #56 car. Lindsey will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time this weekend, the second round of the newly formed WEC Super Season.

There aren’t many racing drivers who can claim that their racing career started with drag racing on the streets of Los Angeles, only to reach a pinnacle on the streets of Le Mans, France. Well, this might be stretching the point just a little, but it is essentially true because part of the legendary Le Mans circuit uses roads that are used throughout the year by the residents of Le Mans.
