The official session comes six weeks after the team completed a 30-hour private test at Magny Cours, also without any issues, giving the crew and drivers confidence in the reliability of their endurance machine. António Félix da Costa, who will race alongside Augusto Farfus and Jesse Krohn in car #82 explained: “Last year, we all came here to our first Le Mans with only one World Endurance Championship round under our belt, so we were on the backfoot. This year, the difference is huge with the team and the car so we’re really looking forward to returning and seeing what we can do.”
