They're just not up to snuff for LMP1. That's fine, it was a ballsy move to try and I'm glad they were there propping up the numbers.

Bit harsh Apex - not sure if you've ever seen the car run or spoken to any of the team?
Yes they have struggled to get on top of the car and extract the maximum from it. But remember their original chassis was destroyed and driver seriously injured, on its debut last year. I think ever since then it's been a bit of an uphill battle for them, but the car has shown flashes of decent pace with van der Zande in particular. Shame they couldnt stick it out but I think their explanation is pretty clear - more bang per buck (for them) in Indycar versus WEC P1.
I for one will miss them from the P1 pitlane - a really friendly bunch of guys.
