Miodrag Kotur

Miodrag Kotur, born on the 26th February 1963, is the Serbian owner of Leopard Racing, a motorcycle racing team. In the past he worked for the , and teams. 
In 1988, Miodrag had the opportunity to work with Peugeot Talbot Sport in Dakar, for logistical reasons. It was only supposed to be for two or three races but Jean Todt noticed him, which made him continue to pursue this career. He therefore experienced the glory of Peugeot 905, with two victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Then, when Jean Todt left for Ferrari, Miodrag Kotur was asked to continue his journey with him. Obviously, he did not refuse. 
Miodrag stayed there until the end of 2009, and when he left for the FIA, joined Lotus. He stayed there for three years then, in 2013, Kotur became team manager at Caterham. 
Although Miodrag was told at the end of 2014, Flavio Becca, started thinking about making a Moto3 team and called him. Kotur was a little skeptical because he previously only had worked with F1 teams and had not yet discovered the MotoGP world, apart from a few trips to Mugello when he was at Ferrari, due to links with Philip Morris. Becca reassured Miodrag, and he was right in doing so, as Leopard Racing became world champions in 2015 during its first year.
