Colin Braun says it is merely a coincidence that both he and fellow Acura IMSA colleague Simon Pagenaud are returning to LeMans24 this year after lengthy breaks.
Reflecting on his long Le Mans hiatus following his maiden outing as an 18-year-old in a Risi Competizione Ferrari, Braun said he"feels like a rookie again in a way".
"I barely remember a lot about it," the 34-year-old said."A lot of the little details and a lot of nuances are sort of gone I guess, and being in a different class obviously and having so much experience since then to now, it’s all a bit different. "Obviously this one being the 100th, everything is bigger and more fans and more everything, so I think it’s a little bit hard to compare this to the normal year that I did in 2007."When I did it in 2007 I was obviously on the young side and probably didn’t appreciate all the little things that this race means, so neat to be able to come back with a bit more perspective, a bit more maturity and be able to appreciate what this race is about.
