Hong Kong's Darryl O'Young is not only determined to finish the race, he is aiming for a win when he competes in the 90th anniversary of Le Mans, the world's most prestigious endurance event, next month.
O'Young last competed at the 24-hour race in 2009 in a Porsche, but failed to finish after encountering clutch and fuel pump problems 16 hours into the event.
The 53-car race is scheduled for Le Mans, France, from June 22 to 23.
Buoyed by the prospect of doing "much better" this year with a new team, the Canadian-born driver thinks he can win his LMGTE Am class aboard top Italian carmaker Ferrari.
"We are going for a win this time - not just finish," said the 33-year-old driver, who dropped a place to sixth spot in the Yokohama Drivers' Trophy in the latest round of the World Touring Car Championship in Salzburg, Austria, last weekend after colliding with an out-of-control car and being forced to quit.
O'Young will be hoping for better luck at Le Mans. "Ferrari are one of the top teams in the world, with all the right experience and back-up. This is a team sport and you need all the right people behind you [to do well]," he said.
