Former MotoGP rider Sylvain Guintoli has set his sights on becoming the first LeMans24 winner on both two wheels and four. The Frenchman he is preparing to make his debut in the LMGT3 class in 2024 or 2025:
Frenchman Guintoli, 41, last raced in MotoGP in 2019 as a wildcard and test rider for Suzuki, but has stayed active in motorcycle racing with the Hamamatsu brand's endurance racing programme.
Guintoli, who also won the World Superbike title for Aprilia before joining Suzuki in 2017, revealed via SERT sponsor Motul that the idea of transitioning to car racing came up after his second Le Mans win. "I want to try and be the first person in history to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans on both motorcycles and cars. This is now my challenge.
"The idea is to enter the new [LM]GT3 [class] with the new regulations from 2024, or maybe 2025," he clarified."I want to be a very good bronze[-rated] driver because I have very little experience of racing cars.
