With veteran Jamie Campbell-Walter sidelined by the injury he sustained in practice for Monza's Le Mans Series round, the Creation-AIM team has opted for proven experience in selecting its drivers to partner regular pilot Stuart Hall at Le Mans.
Belgian sportscar ace Marc Goossens and the versatile Johnny Mowlem will share the LMP1 class CA-07 with the promising Briton, bringing a combined 13 starts at Le Mans to add to Hall debut outing there last season. Goossens has been plying his trade, with increasing success, in America's Grand-Am Rolex Series of late, while Mowlem has campaigned on both sides of the Atlantic over the past few years, competing in both the American Le Mans and
FIA GT series.
"We are very pleased to have such a strong and experienced line-up this year," Creation director Michael Jankowski enthused, "It was important for us to field this kind of depth of talent, especially in the wake of our number one's absence. The determination within the whole team is to succeed for Jamie, who assisted with the selection of Marc and Johnny."
Hall admitted that he was looking forward to partnering two drivers of the stature of his new team-mates.
"Their reputations stand before them," the sportscar convert commented, "With JC-W on the sidelines, I don't think I could have two better team-mates. Both are very fast and have masses of experience in sportscars, so I am looking forward to driving with them - and learning a lot from them both."
Goossens is no stranger to the Creation team, having seen them in action in both Europe and the United States in recent years, and admitted that he is delighted to have the chance to return to Le Mans with its prototype. The British team has become a regular fixture at La Sarthe, but will be joined this year, for the first time, by a second Creation chassis, as US outfit Autocon brings its Judd-engined CA-07 to France.
