Welcome behind the scenes…

A rare privilege, Planetlemans has been given the opportunity to access all instances of Embassy Racing thanks to the kindness and initiative of Team Principal Jonathan France. During the 2008 season Planetlemans will feature interviews with team members including exclusives and special access and discussion on several areas of the team. Next to the regular “car pitted on lap 26″ reports, Inside Embassy should take a look into the main areas that are the essence of the team and its racing philosophy.

One of the main focus points will surely be the transformation of Embassy Racing, from a customer team to a constructor running their own product. The impact and size of the change will be one of the main aspects that Planetlemans will be revealing to our readers, looking into not so well known aspects of the operation.

All in all we consider Inside Embassy to be something different from the regular sportscar analysis/reporting we perform and certainly a motivator for everyone interested or involved in endurance racing to know more about this development.
