It’s business as usual for the Embassy Racing mechanics, engineers and technicians after the hype and drama of the 24 hours of Le Mans finally subsided. They return to preparing the cars for the next round of the Le Mans series at the Nurburgring on August 17th.
The team certainly have their work cut out though as they have to rebuild the 45 and 46 cars after both were involved in separate incidents at Le Mans.
Crew Chief Karl Patman spoke of the team's challenges:
“Both tubs are undamaged which means it is mainly bodywork, steering and suspension we have to work on. Everybody is working hard and fortunately we have our longest break now, if you can call it that, before our next race at the Nurburgring. The cars will be ready a few weeks before that however, as we have already planned to go testing prior to the race in Germany. We learnt so much about the capabilities and potential of the WF01 in Le Mans and I feel that, despite the obvious setback, we are in a good position and frame of mind for the Nurburgring.”
Team Principal Jonathan France said:
“Le Mans was a great experience for all the team and a great test of the car’s potential but we must put that event behind us now and focus on our bread and butter which is the Le Mans Series, where points win prizes and titles.”
