DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports has announced their lineup for the Rolex 24 At Daytona.

The team’s No. 52 ORECA 07 LMP2 will be shared by Gabriel Aubry, Nick Boulle, Simon Trummer and Ben Keating.

Frenchman, Aubry made his IMSA debut in 2019 and is no stranger to sports cars as he is currently an FIA World Endurance Championship class points leader. The 21-year-old also competed in the European Le Mans Series, the GP3 Championship and finished second at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2019.

Boulle rejoins PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports, where he earned a second-place finish at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona in the Prototype Challenge class in 2016. In January 2017, Boulle became the first Rolex dealer to win the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona Prototype Challenge. In 2018 he raced for the third time in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona and finished 12th in his class. Boulle debuted in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2018, finishing in eighth in the LMP2 class. He now has two 24 Hours of Le Mans starts under his belt after competing in 2019’s race.

Trummer brings ample sports car seat time to the team as a three-time participant in 24 Hours of Le Mans and a competitor in the FIA World Endurance Championship LMP2 class in 2017, earning the best result of fifth at Bahrain. Trummer finished second in FIA Endurance Trophy for LMP1 private drivers in 2016 with the best result of fifth at Silverstone.

Keating, now 47, is an experienced bronze driver who has won five national championships racing with Viper. He raced in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series in 2011, the American Le Mans Series in 2013 and won his first two national-level sports car races in 2013. By 2015, he was driving at Le Mans, and by 2017 he had his own team there. He has competed in five 24 Hours of Le Mans. Keating will be doing double duty during the Rolex 24 at Daytona driving with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports in the LMP2 category and driving in a GT Daytona entry.

“I am very excited to kick off the 2020 season with the team this week,” said Team Principal Bobby Oergel. “Thanks to the hard work and efforts of everyone involved drivers and crew, I believe we have a great shot at a run for the team’s second Daytona 24 Hour At Daytona win. Having worked with Gabby, Nick, and Simon previously and knowing that Ben is one of the most successful and hardest working drivers in the paddock we are looking forward to a smooth consistent test and beginning to the month of January. The growth of the category is great to see and really backs up the belief we share along with IMSA to help it be as successful here in the USA as it is around the globe currently.”
