Debora LMP295
The Debora LMP295 and Debora LMP201 were Le Mans Prototypes built by Debora in 1995 for the 24 [Hours of Le Mans]. One of each type was built, and both cars featured the same 2-litre Cosworth-Ford turbocharged straight-four engine. Both cars were only entered in the 1995 [24 Hours of Le Mans], whilst the LMP295 took Didier Bonnet Racing's best ever result in the race.
Debora built two separate cars for the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans; the LMP295, and the LMP201. Both cars used the same 2-litre Cosworth-Ford turbocharged straight-four engine, and both were run by Didier Bonnet Racing. The LMP295 chassis was designated #LMP295-01, whilst the LMP201 chassis was designated as the #LMP295-02. Both cars made their public debut in the Pre-qualifying session for the 24 Hours of Le Mans; the LMP201 was driven by Didier Bonnet and Bernard Santal, and was prequalified in 26th place, whilst the LMP295 was tested, but not used to pre-qualify with. However, the LMP201 was not listed as having pre-qualified, so Didier Bonnet Racing used the LMP295 instead, and entered Santal, Patrice Roussel and Edouard Sezionale in the car; they finished twentieth, and last, having completed 223 laps, but were the only LMP2 car to finish the race, and won the LMP2 class as a result. This would be Didier Bonnet Racing's best ever finish at the event. Neither the LMP201, nor the LMP295 were used again, as Debora built the new LMP296 for 1996.
