In fairness the last one there were reported other problems and parts were falling off before he hit anything so something on the car broke. And the other 2 have more time in the car as well, Tom not an insignificant amount of time behind the wheel of it

Well, certainly not the way they hoped to end the car's racing career at Le Mans.

Brings the curtain down nicely. After all their efforts, they did their best, but it just wasn’t to be. They certainly did it the right way though

They should have grandfathered their P1 this year. It was already running at Hypercar pace.

Good news, I only hope they have a better reliability. It would be great to see Esteban at Le Mans. BTW, he said in an interview that he had test the old car to drive at Le Mans but Honda didn't allow him. I didn't know that.

Esteban Guerrieri uploaded few minutes ago at instagram an onboard video of his test at Paul Ricard with the old P1 car.

The only thing left after a nuclear apocalypse will be cockroaches and a vague intention for ByKolles to build a new car. |

Yeah, those are some big words, but refreshing to see it's alive and the car is getting built.
Still, wouldn't bet on them fielding two cars next season. |

Hey, even if they turn up and smoke a little, there's some entertainment value in that too!

Would love to see this come to fruition. And as much crap as the team has gotten from fans over the years, they are one of the few teams to field a privateer LMP1 machine so they do deserve some credit for that.

It sounded from his quotes like they may well end up running under a different name. It's a good solution for a brand (maybe from Asia?) who have the funds but not necessarily the development know-how.

Anyhow this is big news, hat down before Colin Kolles, a true enthusiast! Hope the car can be relieable enough to fight for wins.

I'm the first to admit that I have participated in all the jokes about Kolles and things catching fire, but you've got to admire the ambition and determination behind this project. Outfits with much bigger wallets and grander opinions of themselves would have thrown the towel in years ago. I can't wait to hopefully see the new car in action.

SCG has shown that it can be done, so I do hope I can knock the parenthesis from By(e)Kolles next year. |
