Sad news indeed, and shows that Hughes de Chaunac is acutely aware of the financial realities involved in sportscar racing these days.

Perhaps greatest regret from my point of view is that the Oreca 01 AIM project has essentially run to a standstill. Such a contrast from this time last year when it was coming to be one of the most credible petrol LMP1s out there.

All goes to show how much the world changes with sportscars year on year.
