No, but I don't need to. They might be a friendly bunch of guys, but with a Bronze driver they were never going to get anywhere. Plus they never really seemed to understand the level of LMP1 competition. I wish them all the best in Indycar which they seem to fit in very well And I will reiterate, I applaud them for taking the big step to try LMP1 in the first place. That takes guts!

Edit: I think the team principal says it best:
Quote:
“We’ll definitely be continuing in the ELMS, which we think offers the best sportscar racing on the planet and remains the ideal series for the top gentleman drivers.

“With the kind of competition you get from 19 regular LMP2 entries, we take pride in the fact that the last two ELMS victories with a Bronze driver, in 2016 and 2019, have been ours.”
