Is there any reason to test a 100% proven (and Le Mans winning) car at Sebring as a preparation for an European season? There would be a reason if they have some updates to shake. But it's a LMP2 thing. What's the reason then? Besides, if there're any sanctions against Gazprom (the parent company of G-Drive) there's little chance for them to participate in the race in US. I do not remember a single bit of G-Drive activity in racing that has no advertising component. It couldn't be just a driver's decision to compete at Sebring. As we know they've left FIA WEC so there's no point from a championship view. So, it's not that obvious for me.
