Texas holds a powerful place in the global imagination, and nowhere is that more evident than in Europe, where the Stetson cowboy hat is recognized as a symbol of independence, authenticity, and heritage. To represent Texas on the world stage especially at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a place where history, speed, and endurance collide during the most iconic race in motorsport — is more than just sport; it’s a statement of pride. And this year, Texas is riding right into the heart of it. With Nick Boulle behind the wheel, representing both his home state and his family’s legacy through de Boulle, one of Texas’s most iconic luxury jewelers, the stars have aligned for a moment of true racing drama.  The roar of the engine, the blur of headlights in the night, and the unmistakable silhouette of a Stetson cowboy hat in the paddock—this is how Texas shows up. From Carroll Shelby’s breakthrough win in 1959 to A.J. Foyt’s all-American triumph in 1967 in Shelby’s Ford GT40, Texans have made their mark at Le Mans. Now, with Nick Boulle carrying that tradition forward at 200 miles per hour, the spirit of Texas is back—and it’s faster than ever. It’s not just a race; it’s a celebration of grit, precision, and heritage. This isn’t just about fast laps—it’s about family, excellence, and representing Texas with integrity and style at the highest level.

Nick Boulle is confirmed to race with Inter Europol Competition in the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans. As part of the prize for winning last year’s IMSA Driver’s and Team Championship – de Boulle Motorsports received the “Truman Award.” This award grants Nick Boulle a “golden ticket” entry to the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours where he will compete in the LMP2 class. He will be joined by team regular Luca Ghiotto and newcomer to the team, Le Mans local, Jean-Baptiste Simmenauer. With the 93rd running of the 24- hour race, the trios #34 and #43 will race against 62 cars, including 15 LMP2 rivals. This will mark Boulle’s third time to compete at the World’s most iconic motorsport event. Boulle previously raced alongside David Cheng and Pierre Nicolet where they placed 7th place in LMP2. “Competing with this lineup in the 24 Hours of Le Mans is the realization of a lifelong dream and the ultimate test for any driver in motorsport,” Boulle shared. “I’m incredibly proud to take on this challenge, representing not only our team and family but also our business.” “Doing this with Inter Europol Competition after such an incredible season last year driving alongside Kuba and Tom is going to be a highlight for me. I am looking forward to it in part because we always had so much fun with Kuba, Sascha, Tom and this IEC family team. And on top of that, they have shown that they know how to put together an amazing car for this race in particular. We will put our heads down and fight to make a great result happen.” “I’m excited to get to know Luca and JB as we prep for this event. We’ll do everything we can to make something very special happen! In fact, the day of the start of the race is my daughter, Celine’s, first birthday so my hope is that she will bring us a lot of good luck (and we can all celebrate her birthday in France!)” To make Boulle’s debut possible, de Boulle Motorsports has partnered with several prominent companies: Mizzen & Main, Graff Interests, Focus Commercial Real Estate, 7S Investments, Haas Company, and Fleur de Lis Energy to name a few.
