Indonesian racer Sean Gelael is targeting victory at this season's 24 Hours of Le Mans as part of his ambition to win the world endurance racing title.
Sean said that in the last two years his team has always been in a competitive position, including two runner-up finishes in the FIA World Endurance Championship and two runner-up finishes at Le Mans.
"Last year, and even the last two years, we were consistently in a winning position in both the WEC and GT World Challenge. We also achieved several podium finishes, but unfortunately, the title race always ended in the penultimate race. The margins were very close, but this season we're back with renewed vigor," Sean said when met.
The racer, who currently plays for the AF Corse 51 team, believes his chances of winning the title this season remain open, even though the final outcome of the competition is uncertain.
"In terms of potential, the opportunity is always there. As I mentioned before, we've finished runner-up twice in the WEC. Likewise, we were runner-up twice at Le Mans. So, God willing, hopefully this year will be our year. However, we also realize that no one knows the final result. We can only work hard, do our best, and leave the rest to God," he said.
According to Sean, he will compete in a total of 18 races this season across various events, with four rounds already completed. He stated that his chances of competing for the championship title are still realistically quite good.
