Does it not seem strange that the car did not run given all that was at stake? perhaps it was the testing performance that is / was the issue, 1.5 sec off the slowest LMP1 car at Paul Recard, equating to about 4 sec round SPA!
Manor do have a reputation, even Berni went on record to suggest they weren't welcome in F1, it all seems very strange.

Ginetta have come out and said they didn't allow Manor to run the car because they didn't pay for it.
