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]
