Team members wanted of course a new chassis and others had also the idea to run a customer chassis like Dallara or Ginetta, but the boss Dr. Colin Kolles doesn't want it.

Car lost 4 laps due to a repair to front and a replacement of the whole underbody after a contact of Oliver Webb. Looses later 12 minutes more after the wiring of the gearbox made problems. Later Rene Binder lost the car and hit the walls, so hard to say about the potential. Rene Binder tweeted that the starting position was far away from the car's potential. They did a lot of development work but had also more try and error than larger teams. They would need a solid race to have a look on their car's real potential. Wind tunnel test would also help but cost too much
