Morand Racing is an auto racing team founded by former racing driver Benoît Morand and based in the Swiss town of Marly, Fribourg. The team traces its origins to 2000 when Morand founded PoleVision Racing which competed in numerous open-wheel series before switching to sports cars until 2011. The team was reformed as Morand Racing in 2012, and has competed in the European Le Mans Series since 2013 with a Morgan Le Mans Prototype.[1]
In 2015, Morand formed a partnership with the Japanese SARD organization to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship, expanding the team to two Morgan prototypes.[2]
For the 2016 season, Morand partnered with Mexican driver Ricardo González to form "RGR Sport by Morand", driving the new Ligier JS P2. The team won the opening round of the championship at Silverstone.[3] At their home race, the 6 Hours of Mexico, they obtained victory, the pole position, and the fastest lap.[4]
