WEC / Le Mans – Package, Starworks eyes towards 2014

This is not a surprise, and Starworks Motorsports has just confirmed the bad news this morning. Reigning LM P2 champion and victorious in 24 Hours of Le Mans, the American team will not defend its brilliant successes acquired last year. “We just couldn't get the budget done on time. underlines boss Peter Baron. When we register for a championship, it is to play for victories and titles. I am very sorry that we are forced to give up and fail in the WEC and to the fans. »

The Fort Lauderdale team will therefore focus this season on Grand-Am. However, the stated ambition is to be back in the WEC in 2014. “We're still looking for partners, so it's not all bad news, continues Peter Baron. When the funds start to arrive, we will begin to prepare for our participation in the 2014 WEC. Our plans would be to participate in several races of the 2013 ALMS and possibly the American round of the WEC at the Circuit of the Americas, in order to prepare for the better next season and prevent this situation from happening again. »

First LM P substitute at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, theMorand Racing team has already made it known that she would honor her invitation to the Le Mans classic.
