Building on the hard-earned lessons of a challenging AC37 campaign, France's La Roche-Posay Racing Team is entering the next America's Cup with enhanced experience and a pledge to "come back stronger".
France's history with the Cup dates back to the 1970s, and their passion for the ultimate prize remains as intense as ever. During their previous campaign in Barcelona - where they competed under the Orient Express Racing banner - the team faced the massive challenge of arriving late and mastering an AC75 under the eyes of the world.
Despite these hurdles, they secured a milestone victory in race one against Alinghi Red Bull Racing.
Now, the team is applying those critical learnings to their current campaign. Retaining their core philosophy of backing young, hungry talents who are eager to prove themselves, they have also made a significant push to bring vital experience into critical departments - with an eye to achieving the impossible.
