DuHamel to race Lightning at Le Mans

Five-time Daytona 200 winner Miguel DuHamel will return to organized racing this weekend when he takes part in the FIM e-Power International Championship race at Le Mans.

DuHamel, who never retired, spends most of his days playing golf, riding bicycle or dirt bike and ruminating over his Brainerd loss to Jake Zemke speculating in the real estate market.

He recently tested the Lightning e-bike and decided to race at Le Mans, a track he knows well from his background in World Endurance racing. DuHamel will ride for the Lightning Barracuda Racing Team.

Interesting that we see a bunch of formerly-retired racers come out of the woodwork to compete on the electrics.

Big fish in a small pond? Or burned out on the gas race scene, interested in something new?
