Finished lower in the ranks due to ineffective fuel stops. Ran again at Dijon CER in 2019 where it ran faultlessly. 2020 the engine was entirely re-built at Steve warrior using a new and advanced re-enforced block. Gearbox and transmission were also rebuilt during this period. The car was tested at Spa in 2020 ahead of the meeting and lapped at 2, 40”.
