With the new PRO DAYS by Curbstone x ORECA test day offer, Curbstone – Europe’s leading Track and Test day organiser – and ORECA – the motorsport company – join forces to create a new testing environment for professional racers, on some of the world’s most famous and demanding circuits.
Every year professional racing teams look for a high-level test environment, to fully prepare for the racing season. As time is of the essence, maximising track time is crucial during these test sessions. That is why Curbstone and ORECA created the PRO DAYS by Curbstone x ORECA.
Raphaël de Chaunac, ORECA Group Vice President said:
“We’re proud to launch this collaboration and join forces with Curbstone in order to provide professional teams with a unique offer. Pursuing performance, surpassing oneself and working as a team are values that we share. We’ll rely on this collaboration to make sure that the teams that have trusted us benefit from a custom-made service that meets the highest standards, allowing practice sessions to take on a new dimension so to tackle the upcoming season under optimum conditions.”
Only PRO racers (Pro & Pro-AM) will be allowed to participate in these new test days, with a limit of 15 cars on track. The PRO Days, organised under a 2-day format, are open to Hypercars, LMP2 and LMP3 cars, and GT3 or GTE/LMGT3 machinery.
As the most exacting tracks tend to deliver better test results, the PRO DAYS by Curbstone x ORECA will be organised on some of the most famous Grade A circuits, both in Europe and the United Arab Emirates.
Ludovic Colman, Curbstone General Manager said:
“The 2024 season, will mark our 15th year of organising test days. We are honoured to bring this new product to market in partnership with ORECA. Both companies will invest their knowhow, services, and networks into this platform for professional GT and LMP race teams with the common target to create an optimized environment where cars on track are in the same laptime, enhancing on safety and accurate testing.”
Obviously, these PRO DAYS include a complete service offering as well. Not only there are the traditional tyre, fuel and timekeeping services, but there is a technical support of the ORECA engineering staff as well.
Because Curbstone will organise its pre-season test days in parallel or following the PRO DAYS, this creates the ideal testing climate for both teams and drivers, whether they compete in GT2/3/4, LMP 3/4, single-make cups or touring cars.
