Era Motorsport’s crayon livery, with which the team won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, will make a comeback at this weekend’s Petit Le Mans.
The team’s #18 ORECA 07-Gibson will once again sport the livery, which was designed by six-year-old Owen as part of a livery contest at the beginning of the year.
“It means a lot to us to have Owen’s livery back on the car,” said Era Motorsport Team Owner Kyle Tilley. “It not only brought us good luck for the Rolex 24, but through that livery and our first victory our earned a lot of new fans who have come out to support us this year.
“Ending the season with the crayon wrap, and even a podium finish is a great way to close out the year on a positive note and thank our fans for cheering us on this year.”
Owen will also be present for the final race of the season. As part of the contest, he had won the chance to visit the team earlier in the year, but the visit had to be postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions.
I’m so proud of the season we’ve had to date, and I’m looking forward to a strong finish at Petit Le Mans,” Tilley continued. “We’ve proven we’re strong in both sprint and endurance races, and we’ve got the right group of people to get that third win of the season.”
The #18 ORECA will be driven by Tilley, Dwight Merriman and Ryan Dalziel.
