Bentley Continental GT3 driver Seb Morris is eyeing a swift return to the Pro-Am podium during round three of the Blancpain Endurance Cup in France on Saturday.

Marford racer Morris is in action for Team Parker at the six-hour Paul Ricard 1,000km - the longest race of the season so far.

Following the frustration of an enforced early retirement from round two at Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit, Chester-based Welshman Morris is now eyeing Pro-Am silverware at the popular Le Castellet track.

Saturday’s epic encounter will also feature a night-time aspect with the race scheduled to finish at a quarter to midnight.

Heading into the halfway point of his maiden season in Blancpain Endurance, Morris is fifth in the Pro-Am standings after the superb runner-up placing he and team-mates Rob Smith and Derek Pierce achieved during the 2018 curtain-raiser at Monza in Italy.

"I’m looking forward to Paul Ricard, testing there went very well and the car was quick so we’ve got high hopes”, said 22-year-old Morris.

“It’s a very strange track in terms of how long a lot of the high-speed corners are – they seem to go on forever – but it provides lots of close racing. I’m confident we’ve got a package which can challenge for the podium again, that’s what we’re aiming for.”

“Silverstone was unfortunate but we’ve all raised our game ahead of Paul Ricard.We need to make sure we get the processes right, get the pit-stops nailed and make sure there are no mistakes. We’ve got a really good car, great drivers and a top team so everything is in place for us to be back challenging for the podium again hopefully.”

Morris’ first track outing at the Paul Ricard track will come on Friday, 1st June, during opening free practice at 10.50 (local time) with Pre-Qualifying set to follow at 3.40pm (local time).

Final qualifying will get underway on Saturday morning with the six-hour ‘into the night’ race beginning at 5.45pm local time.

Live television coverage in the UK is expected to be screened on digital satellite and cable channel Motorsport TV with live streaming globally.
