Patrick Dempsey, with his two team mates, Joe Foster and Patrick Long held a press conference on Saturday, June 8th afternoon within the Circuit of 24 hours of Mans.

A very awaited instant, followed by dozens of fans on WebTV by 24 hours of Mans - lemans-tv.com - but also L'Equipe 21 which broadcast the interview live.

Beaming, the American actor who had arrived on Friday evening in the Sarthe, came back with his love of 24 hours of Mans. «It is always great to be in Mans, explained any smile the star of Grey' s Anatomy. It is as to be at home far from the home. For me it is simply extraordinary to participate in a racing filled with history as this one.» A true declaration of love at 24 hours of Mans: «Show, smells, traditions, history, technology... All these things change your life deeply.»

Let us remind that he has already participated once in 2009 tests in the steering wheel of a Ferrari F430 with which he ranked 30th. For 2013, shown ambition is once again to end running in the steering wheel of the Porsche n°77. But with a very fast Patrick Long, pilot of Porsche and the so experienced Joe Foster, ambition will perhaps be to run to outposts in the category LM GTE Am. In this Sunday, very coherent grey Porsche of the team Dempsey / Del Piero achieved the 47th stopwatch (on 61 cars) the 3rd in the category. An encouraging performance with the aim of racing.
