Christophe Bouchut took part in the 2009 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans at the wheel of the JMB Racing Ferrari 430 GT2.  Not only did he enjoy himself immensely, but his performance went far from unnotices, with a fourth-best time in qualifying - and the best time in the race for the Ferrari cars. Unfortunately, problems including a badly-adjusted wheel and a damaged pipe lost them an hour in the race.

« In all, this hour lost us a certain fifth or sixth position, » a nevertheless happy Christophe explained. "It should be remembered that the cancellation of the preliminary test sessions did not help us, compared to teams who had prior information. We could feel it in the settings. The car was good, but not as good as it could have been. On a human front, however, it was excellent. In terms of the pleasure I had, I must admit I have undoubtedly just had my best-ever 24 Hours of Le Mans, there was such a great atmosphere in the team. I got on very well with Manu and Yvan. It was tough for them – especially for Yvan – but they held on and can be extremely proud of what they have achieved. As far as I am concerned, I was really delighted to race with this professional and very welcoming team. For me, the 24 Hours of Le Mans were a real success !»
