KSM waives start at Spa Francorchamps
The LMP qualifying session was just 5 minutes old when our car with Jean at the wheel hit the barriers at the first left-hander after Rivage. Luckily Jean escaped unharmed. Immediately after the car was brought back to the pits it was found that the monocoque was damaged. After a thorough inspection of the car together with the A.C.O. and technicians from the chassis manufacturer Lola we found that the chassis could not be repaired on site and that we had to waive the start of the race. We had all worked very hard to prepare the car for the qualifying and the race, so this was of course very disappointing for the whole team, but when it comes to safety, we will never make any compromises!
Now it's time for rolling up our sleeves and getting the car ready for the next important event, the test day for the 24 hours of Le Mans on 1st June.
