Q: It has been rumoured that tyre companies new to LMP racing may join Dunlop and Michelin with programs. How would you feel about this?
"We would very much welcome it. We are proud of the fact that the only class in last years' Le Mans 24 Hours that had open tire competition we were very strong and got great results. We don't sit on our laurels though and we would actually like to see more competition from other companies, as long as it is a level playing field and there is no reason to doubt that as the ACO and FIA have policed it very well."
Q: What are your opinions of the mooted new LMP2 'controlled key supplier' plans for 2017 onward?
"Regulations are set by the governing bodies and not us, so we have to abide by the rules. Our opinion is that we enjoy and prefer open competition. The reason we have this position is that because LMP2 has been very well policed and the ACO has run their policy of having the specifications known at the very start of the year means for us there can be a tire war that is controlled but without getting in to multiple specifications to suit different chassis.
But I'm sure they'll be rambling about unprecedented technical challenge it brings to supply the whole grid and blah blah, like Michelin will do in Hypecar
