When last year's World Endurance Championship season kicked off at Silverstone in April, John Booth and Graeme Lowdon were in China running the Manor Formula 1 team.
This weekend, while F1 is in the far east, the duo will be helming a very different Manor operation.
The new Manor Endurance Racing squad will field two ORECA-Nissan 05s in the LMP2 class throughout this year's WEC (the Le Mans 24 Hours, where it drops to a single entry, excepted).
