The entry list for the 6 Hours of Spa will lose an LM P1 this weekend since the BR1 – Gibson n°10 – DragonSpeed will not be there in the Ardennes.

We are disappointed to announce that our @FIAWEC LMP1 #10 @DallaraGroup @gibsontech1 entry will not race this weekend @ Spa. We have not been able to acquire the electronics that needed fixing after our DNF at Sebring. A little time, a test and focus on @ 24hoursoflemans pic.twitter.com/EORkOfbNO1

The American structure, which intended to align the trio Ben Hanley – James Allen – Henrik Hedman, was unable to “acquire electronic components that required repair” after the BR1 was abandoned at Sebring following a gearbox problem.

DragonSpeed will now focus on its commitment to LM P2 in Belgium, then in ELMS in Monza in a little over a week, before heading to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, first via the Test Day at the beginning of June, before the double round of the clock on the 15th and 16th of the same month.
