After spending 2009 learning the ropes in Superleague Formula by Sonangol, Olympique Lyonnais returns for another crack this season with a new driver, Frenchman Sebastien Bourdais and a new team, Laurent Redon Motorsport.

Although Laurent Redon Motorsport will be making its debut in the championship alongside 17 other identical single seaters powered by a 750-bhp V-12 engine, they can at least count on the experience of Bourdais who made an impressive series debut midway through 2009.

The former-Toro Rosso F1 driver and four-time Champ Car champion joined the grid with immediate success last year, winning the Super Final five lap shootout on debut in Estoril in the colours of Sevilla. The Frenchman then continued that winning streak in Monza, before also bagging a pair of podiums in Jarama.

Now working with Laurent Redon Motorsport, Bourdais has his sights firmly set on continuing that string of impressive results in the colours of Olympique Lyonnais.
