Onroak Automotive
Onroak Automotive is OAK Racing’s constructor department. Like the racing operation, it is based at the Technoparc des 24 Heures. It is in charge of the conception, manufacturing and sale of the OAK-Pescarolo’s and the Morgan LM P2 chassis. Its in-house Design Office is managed by Nicolas Clémençon. The cars benefit from the endurance racing experience of OAK Racing as well as the expertise of the Onroak Design Office.
The Morgan LM P2
The Morgan 2012 LM P2 meets all 2012 ACO/FIA regulations. Particular emphasis has been placed on cost-control and safety, with shark fins added above the engine and louvres now present over the wheel arches. Aerodynamic performance has also been given strong focus in order to increase downforce and reduce drag, with extensive work taking place during a major windtunnel programme.
The evolution of the Morgan 2012 LM P2 is a collaboration between the team’s design office, which has extensive history in prototype development, and the experience of the racing team, which fielded cars in various endurance series and events.
Over the course of the season the 2011-spec LM P2 successfully covered more than 25,000 kms, allowing the team to amass vast quantities of data. The car finished every race it entered, achieving a podium as early as Sebring, runner-up spot in the ILMC classification and a second place finish at Petit Le Mans thanks to the United Autosports-entered #22 machine. The 2010 car also proved its efficiency with seven podiums from eight races, including an LM P2 class runner-up finish at the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Le Mans Series constructors’ title.
This prototype has been designed with private teams in mind and suits both professional and gentlemen drivers. Onroak Automotive oversees all technical support and assistance required at the circuit.
Since its creation, Onroak Automotive commercialized its prototypes over three continents:
- The American team an importer Conquest Endurance Racing entered in 2012 a Morgan LM P2 in the American Le Mans Series
- The Chinese team KCMG will race a Morgan LM P2 in the brand new Asian Le Mans Series
- The Swiss team Morand racing will field a Morgan LM P2 in the European Le Mans Series
Jacques Nicolet, OAK Racing team owner: « The Morgan LM P2 and the creation of Onroak Automotive are the results of our large-scale interest in the class, demonstrated as early as 2008 with the creation of the initial LM P2 using the LMP1 Pescarolo chassis. The 2012-spec car benefits from the experience we have acquired since, both as a constructor and a racing team. We believe we have achieved the best balance in terms of performance, integration of the new safety regulations and respect for the low-cost spirit requested by the ACO. Throughout 2012 the Morgan LM P2s secured excellent results and consistently proved its performance.»
The car is available and optimized for the following for the engines: Judd, Nissan et Honda.
