4 Hours of Spa – The misfortunes of the Inter Europol team

The weekend started well for the #3 Inter Europol Competition LMP13 team of Martin Hippe, Aidan Read and Ugo de Wilde with a second position in qualifying. The problems appeared, mainly with the steering wheel, from the first hour of the race for the Austrian team and especially Aidan Read came out of the post in a spectacular manner at the Campus corner. If the driver escaped unscathed, the prototype could not leave with the left front wheel torn off. “It was an unlucky day, judged the Australian pilot. We had an excellent start and were in the lead before the problems with the steering wheel. Then I made a mistake on the Campus bend. I pushed a little too hard, missed the rope and ended up wide. This put me into a corner. I'm sorry for the team and my teammates. » The number 14 also experienced numerous problems, including a drive-through for contact with another LMP3. Inter Europol Competition thus left Spa with no points scored.
