Sporting a background that boasts the mastery of multiple motorsport disciplines, Chapman Ducote transitioned into the American Le Mans Series in 2007 in GT2, raced GT1 in the legendary DBR9 Aston Martin, and joined Intersport Racing`s LMP1 effort with an AER-powered Lola in 2009 with former Series champions Clint and Jon Field.  Since 2009, Ducote has remained with the Intersport team and has continued to race Le Mans prototypes.  This 2011 season Ducote pilots the Intersport No. 88 LMPC ORECA-FLM09 entry with his brother, David Ducote, and the always quick Kyle Marcelli.  Also in 2011, Ducote plans to expand his racing career to the European circuit, as he has recently signed a deal with Guess Racing to race the 6 hours of Imola, the fourth race in the line of Intercontinental Le Mans Cup races, in a LMP1 Lola Coupe with V10 Judd on July 2-3, 2011 in Italy.


Chapman Ducote has raced karts, formula cars, IMSA Lites, GT cars in several series’, Daytona Prototypes, and Le Mans prototypes.  He already has nine (9) American Le Mans series podiums to his name, as he embraces his fifth season in ALMS and extends his career to the European and Asian circuits for Intercontinental Le Mans Cup races.
