Patrón Highcroft LMP1 returns to ALMS for 2010
After becoming the top point-scoring Acura team for each of the past three seasons and earning the brand’s first LMP1 championship in 2009, Patrón Highcroft Racing will continue its relationship with Honda Performance Development (HPD) – the racing arm of American Honda Motor Company, in the 2010 American Le Mans Series.
The Patrón Highcroft squad will contest next year’s combined ALMS prototype class armed with an HPD-backed ARX-01c.
Patrón Highcroft Racing will be the exclusively designated test team for HPD. The 2009 ALMS LMP1 championship winning squad will be charged with evaluation of the new ARX-01c platform and the testing of a new HPD engine under consideration for the 2011 season.
“We are delighted to continue our relationship with Honda Performance Development,” team owner Duncan Dayton said.
“We will have the #1 on our car for 2010 and firmly believe the ARX-01c will give us the best opportunity to defend that championship. We are very much looking forward to continuing our working relationship with the team at HPD – they have played an integral role in our championship success.
“We are extremely keen to investigate expanding our operation to put the budget in place to run a second car. We’re talking to a number of potential new marketing partners to add to our sponsorship portfolio – partners the team has been negotiating with and others who might be supporting a specific driver.”
Patrón Highcroft Racing veteran David Brabham will return for his fourth consecutive season with the team. Brabham’s teammates are expected to be announced in the near future.

Good to see Brab’s with a drive in 2010 already confirmed. Hopefully Honda are testing the water for a full factory entry into Le Mans in 2011 – Audi, Peugeot, Aston Martin and Honda all in LMP1 would be mouthwatering. Especially if the rumours that Toyota could be coming back with a Hybrid in 2011 are true…
Hey man, I’m meet making this comment because I’m browsing with the Bainate application and some of the frams are a bit odd. But the application isn’t that popular anyway so no worries.
Thanks for letting us know – we test all major browsers, but sometimes something can get through. We’ll look into it!
